Before a corresponding "legacy" release for 2.4.20-31 kernel will
be available you can recompile src.rpm from RH9 updates with the
following patch to a spec file:

The only thing missing here is a relevant %changelog entry.
See RHSA-2004:166-01 for why you may want to do that.

any ill effects. I am not so sure about RH8 but something similar,
or even the same, will work there too.
