How can I find out what else I need? If the RedHat configuration works for compiling kernels, then just use that for your sources. In your kernel source directory, copy configs/kernel-<of-your-choice>.config to .config and then compile the kernel as normal. eg, in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-24.8.0/ cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i386.config ./.config make xconfig Then you can make your changes as you like (but don't touch the sound options!) If you want to use one of your config files from an older kernel, replace make xconfig with make oldconfig.
