Install kernel-source-2.4.20-9.i386.rpm package: 1a. download via ftp then install it, e.g. rpm -i kernel-source-2.4.20-9.i386.rpm 1b. up2date kernel-source 3. cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 4. make mrproper (this is needed) 5. cp arch/i386/defconfig/config-2.4.20-i586.config .config 6. make menuconfig/xconfig/config/whatever and then enable DEVFS (I don't recommend you modifying .config manually) 7. make rpm This will compile the kernel and its modules and will generate both a SRPM and a RPM package for you to install. -- Please AVOID sending me WORD, EXCEL or POWERPOINT attachments.
