Hi;
  I know what you mean! arrgh!!
  Apparently RedHat goes to /lib/modules and loads the
tree. The old modules are still there and cause the
lockup.

my compile:
 log in as 'root'

 get the old module tree out of the way:
 mv /lib/modules/2.2.5-15 /lib/modules/2.2.5-15.old
     
 cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.5
 startx
 make mrproper

 make xconfig
 save to a name 'mick.cfg' next compile load this file
 save and exit
 make dep
 make clean
 make bzImage
 make modules
 make modules_install
 cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/mick
 
 pico /etc/lilo.conf
 add mick, save and exit

 /sbin/lilo

 reboot and select mick

 the new modules should load ok, thanks to Denice on
this list for the modules thing, it is in fact in the
manual 5.1 pp 154 'Building a custom kernel'
