I re-untarred kernel-source-2.4.18-tar.bzip2 into # /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18 and ran "make menuconfig" from in there, and it worked! I *hate* reinstalling stuff to make it work. There should be a systematic way of tracing thru scripts as they execute, to find the cause of these problems. When a full-screen app runs, it clears away all the startup messages on the screen up to that point. Is there any way to retrieve these messages?
