Kernel compile problems

I transferred the linux src to another machine & rebuilt the code with the
same config file.  No depmod errors.  So the problem seemed to be with the
OS.

However, on this second machine (RedHat 9.0), I'm now erroring out at the
end with mkinitrd:

sh -x ./install.sh 2.4.21 bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/System.map ""
+ '[' -x /root/bin/installkernel ']'
+ '[' -x /sbin/installkernel ']'
+ exec /sbin/installkernel 2.4.21 bzImage /usr/src/linux-2.4.21/System.map
''
No module aic7xxx found for kernel 2.4.21
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [install] Error 2


Funny thing is that I configured aic7xxx to be in the kernel instead of
built as a module.  Oye...  I feel like I'm working with a BSOD!
