ok what did I do wrong?

[Scott Bradner]

Two of the responses suggested that I should do a "make clean" and then
remake the kernel.  That worked just fine.

Now if that is needed why doesn't the install program do it?

well, come to think of it, this is the same install program that
first asks you what timezone (eastern, central ...) you are in
BEFORE asking if you are in North America, so I guess it follows :-)


Thanks to those who pointed out the simple (once known) "fix".
