I guess the obligatory question has to be asked: Why are you trying to compile the kernel? Why can't you use the one that Red Hat shipped? If it's just to build a kernel module from source, you don't need to recompile the whole thing. -snip- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5-s390x]# make > CHK include/linux/version.h > CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h > HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/genksyms.o > HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/lex.o > HOSTCC scripts/genksyms/parse.o > HOSTLD scripts/genksyms/genksyms > CC scripts/mod/empty.o > MKELF scripts/mod/elfconfig.h > HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o > HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o > HOSTCC scripts/mod/sumversion.o > HOSTLD scripts/mod/modpost > make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by > `init/built-in.o'.

It shouldn't be significantly different from anyone else's. What are you using for your source? It should be kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5.src.rpm, and you should be doing an "rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.6.spec" from the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ directory.
