redhat backported some of the system_call related code from the 2.5 branch.check to see if it exported in your kernel. i mean look for
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sys_call_table) in kernel/ksysm.c

Since the kernel that got shipped in RedHat9 they don't export the syscall_table as well.
You can see this if you look at the changes between the 2.4.20 supplied by kernel,org and the redhat branch -
grep sys_call_table /usr/src/linux/kernel/*
