Ok, figured out the problem. I'm using the wrong vmlinux file. I needed to
use the one from July 2000 instead of March 2000. The particular file was in
the updates folder on the ftp server. Might I suggest that the vmlinux file
in the install folder be replaced with the new one to avoid confusion to
others?
