I actually have now tried and failed to build kernel-2.4.22-0.6mdk (from cooker). I upgraded kernel-utils (built from source rpm so it would be cool with MDK 9.1) and then tried building the kernel. No go. First off, xconfig doesn't work so I had to go with menuconfig (no problem with 2.4.21-0.13mdk). It built just fine but when installing the kernel (make install) it failed to find a bzImage and didn't install a vmlinuz to go with the build. No amount of tinkering/manual file play would get around this. I haven't yet tried (again) to go to 2.4.21-0.25mdk via your method. At this point, I give up and will, I suppose, wait for 9.2 and HOPE that the kernel is all cool and functional on my laptop.
