Arjan,

Thanks, but I'm not even rebuilding the entire kernel or using rpmbuild
because I'm just trying to get a tg3.o for 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL and
ELsmp.  :)

HP provides tg3.o's with U6 tg3 source compiled for U5 (2.4.21-32.EL and
32.ELsmp), but we use the 32.0.1.EL errata.

I've already been able to get both tg3.o's needed, so now I'm off to
test them.  I'm using Red Hat's stock kernel RPM errata and added tg3.o
under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates.
