Yeah, I just usually do both since I keep them both cvsup'd.

I don't follow.  I've made world/kernel plenty of times before and
compatability was fine.  This time it broke.  What changed?  I thought
all I needed was linux.ko in the kernel and the linux.so's to have
binary compatiability.  Surely I don't have to install all of redhat
inorder to run a pre-built linux binary.

Yup.  I keep that cvsup'd too.  Anyway, I'll give it a try and let you
know how it works out.  Thanks for the assistance.
