Jim:

To be honest, I am certain I don't have the System.map copied over correctly. 
Here's what I did after the last compile run: cp /linux-2.4.20/System.map 
/boot/System.map-2.4.20. That's probably not the right thing to do, but it's 
what I tried. I am way new at all this, so I do appreciate your patience with 
me.

I checked the modules.conf file, and found no reference there to 'char major 
81' As well, I did NOT select video for linux when running make menuconfig.

How do I modprobe my SCSI host adapter? I don't even know what the adapter is 
called, let alone how to probe it.

Thank you for any help you can give this struggling newbie.
