Check redhat website for compiling the kernel.
I tell you a recent story from my experiance.
I am setting oracle server on pcq linux 7.1
which comes with kernel 2.4.12, and oracle 9i needs
> kernel 2.4.4
Sometimes you need to change the parameters of kernel, for example
installing oracle 9i needs to change the semaphore parameters
(not always, although it works without changing).

I was setting ip forwarding some time back(around 8 months)
I was using redhat linux 5.2 and on a test pc, i set up ip musq.
but in newer kernel, they give ip forwarding, so i need to recompile the
newer kernel for ip forwarding and then install it on redhat 5.2

Right now i am trying to set up VPN and for that i need to compile
kernel with TCP/IP Tunneling protocol.

One of my finest example something like this,
I was ordering the networ card, so vender asked me which card
do i need that will run with linux. I checked some site and tell him to
send me RE100 . But in my kernel it was not supported.
I did not know that because i checked  the websites,
I installed the card but it did not work. I posted the problem on list
and got the clue that module needed for this card is not complied with the
kernel, however it is there. So i need to complile the module and installed
it
anyway, i did kernel recompilation for that(becauuse i wanted to learn and
see
what are the options and what is its significant).

HTH
