At this point, I'd NOT do what you are doing. Get the OpenMosix patch for 2.4.20. Then:
apt-get install kernel-package apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.20 -- now, patch 2.4.20... --- cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20 make-kpkg clean zcat /whereever/you/put/openMosix-2.4.20-2.gz | patch -p1 make-kpkg --config menu kernel_image make-kpkg modules_image -- the last, if you have any external kernel modules to build, alsa, etc cd .. dpkg --install (your new openmosix kernel) This is approximate, and from memory.
