RTAI 24.1.11/Kernel 2.4.18 - unresolved symbol 'prefetch' error

[Johnson, Derahn T (US SSA)]

Here is the series of steps I perform to install a vanilla linux kernel (2.4.18) over a RedHat 7.3 kernel (2.4.18-3), and patch RTAI (24.1.11).
After the install is complete, I try to insmod the driver that I've written, and I get the error "unresolved symbol: prefetch".  I completed this exact series of steps on 3 separate, identical PCs, with no problems.  But on this fourth install attempt, I'm getting the error.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

*******************************************************************************************************************
Perform a 'Workstation' RedHat 7.3 OS Build.

(After build, Log on as root)
(Insert CD containing plain, vanilla kernel 2.4.18, because
 RTAI cannot be built against a RedHat kernel)
