Did you install kernel sources from the kernel-source RPM or from a
vanilla kernel tree? If from a vanilla tree, remove it, and use the
kernel-sources RPM for Fedora. Otherwise, try rpm -e kernel-source
and then re-install the kernel-source RPM.

I'm pretty sure I didn't do the make menuconfig or make dep - it was
enough to have the sources in place. Also make sure the linux-2.4 symbolic
link in /usr/src is pointing to the correct tree.

Finally, although it doesn't seem to say this anywhere, kernel modules
must be built with the same compiler that the kernel gets built with. In
the case of fedora, you need to use gcc32. So the make command is:

make HOSTCC=gcc32

Hope this all helps!
