Ok. Then I guess following is making trouble for you. In a previous mail you posted to have installed
# rpm -qa kernel* kernel-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-16 kernel-doc-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl kernel-module-nvidia-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl-1.0.5336-0.lvn.3.1 kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.101.fedora kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl kernel-uml-2.4.18-19.8.0
Uninstall kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl, so that you have only the kernel source for kernel .2179. Normally it is enough to have only one kernel source installed. Did you manually install the packages using rpm -i? Else kernel-source would be automatically installed with rpm -U.

I did the kernel upgrade using yum update. I understand now how this extraneous kernel-source could give a problem! Armed with a good night's sleep, a couple of cups of coffee, and a quiet house, I'm going to have a fresh shot at it now.
Thanks very much! I'll report back when I'm done having a go at it.
I sincerely appreciate the group's willingness to hang in there with me on this.
