[plug] RH7.1 kernel rebuild boot problem

[psteege at tpg.com.au]

I am building this on a Pentium 233.
As far as copying, I verified the file date/time of the bzImage file 
so I know I am copying the latest created image.
I did not set processor options.  I assumed that when I do a kernel 
rebuild, the make file uses the current .config file and just updates 
it from the additional entries I am making.
Is that correct, or a bad assumption ?
In the future, once I have one working, I will save my kernel config 
files so I can return to a previous build.
