Well, genksyms is present on my 2.6 systems, so I'd say redhat is at fault 
here for not providing it any more. (or they did it intentionally to prevent 
ppl from running old 2.4 kernels with their new distros)

If you install genksyms, does the kernel compile then?

Does your distro run at all with a 2.4 kernel? depending on how they 
configured their glibc, it might not even start with a 2.4 kernel...
