AFAIR RedHat requires to copy the correct config file from /boot/*config*
into /usr/local/linux-2.4.20-8/.config. I'd call "make oldconfig"
afterwards to  get autoconf.h and the symbol versions right; followed by
"make dep", "make bzImage", ...

The last one looks like the modules' symbol versions weren't calc.
correctly. No idea about the former ones.
