I just applied patches to our WS3.0 machines through up2date and got kernel-source too. However, it failed to compile kernel. The following is the steps I took. Please advise me how to get rid of errors.
1. I opened make menuconfig/xconfig
2. Turn on IEEE1394 option
3. save & exit
4. make dep <-- it looked okay
5. make modules failed with many "implicit declaration of function" errors
So, after make clean, I turned off IEEE1394 option and saved it, but it looks like it still produced the same errors with make modules. It looks like kenern-source for linux-2.4.21-15.EL never be able to be compiled due to anomalities in many libraries.
Here is the example of output:

after you enable your specific options with xconfig, mv the .config file created in /usr/src/linux out of the src tree, make mrproper, then mv .config back, do a make oldconfig, make dep; make clean, make bzImage, make modules... this worked for me the last time i got a slough of cryptic compilation errors on make modules.
