I thought is was a bit unlikely that the contents of the boot directory 
would just 'dissapear'.  I was compiling a 2.4.9 kernel, same version 
number as the default redhat one and that was installed.  It didn't have 
ext3 support and for some reason when I booted using it I couldn't see 
anything except a couple of brokem symlinks in the boot directory. 
Booting using the old kernel seems to have solved the problem.  Wierd. 
I have compiled a 2.4.17 kernel that I downloaded (all hail plus.net 
ADSL) and that works fine.

Will.
