Thomas,

	You want to make sure that /usr/src/linux points to 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-37mdk.  Do this as root:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-37mdk /usr/src/linux

On Mandrake standard kernels, I don't think that rtc is a module by 
default.  Do this after running the above command:

grep -i rtc /usr/src/linux/configs/*

and if CONFIG_RTC=y, then you need to recompile your kernel so that 
CONFIG_RTC=m.

Do this by doing uname -r and seeing which kernel you have.  Copy that 
config from /usr/src/linux/configs to /usr/src/linux/.config  Then:

1) cd /usr/src/linux
2) vi .config (change CONFIG_RTC=y to CONFIG_RTC=m)
3) Change the Makefile so that EXTRAVERSION (line 4) reflects your new 
version
4) make oldconfig && make oldconfig && make dep && make install
5) make sure that /boot/grub/grub.conf shows your new kernel
6) reboot
7) if everything morks, make the new kernel the default by updating 
/boot/grub/grub.conf
8) Try to rebuild zaprtc.
