Personally I would go with a method along lines of: download kernel.org kernel untar/bzip the kernel somewhere within /usr/src/ On a RedHat system with kernel-source rpm package installed: cp from /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-20.7/configs/kernel-2.4.20-i386-BOOT.config to ./.config of the linux-2.4.22 kernel make oldconfig (answer prompts as you need) and then carry on building the kernel and rpm as you want. The make rpm command within kernel source is pretty basic, but I would expect it would meet most needs. The key to the kernel-BOOT rpm from RedHat is just using the same config file as RedHat does as a basis.
