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.
