	It's been my experience that this is usually due to user error, in
particular, building broken dependencies in the "module profile" (turning on
one module that depends on a module you've turned off elsewhere)
	Do you have specific error output?
	Did you build from one of the config files supplied with the Red Hat
kernel RPM, or do you build from scratch?

	Again, specifics would help, and the compile is only as accurate as
the .config / Makefile supplied to it.

	Not my experience, but then I'm only running on a P-III UP kernel -
my dual P-III Abit it down again (big surprise).
