You don't need to do this with a RH kernel to get the speedtouch stuff
working.
I would suggest that you want to try building and installing a stock
kernel that you know should work before attempting to modify anything.
(These steps are from memory and I rarely build RH kernels)
1. Install the kernel source rpm rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.xxx
2. cd /usr/src/linux
3. cp configs/redhat-i386 .config
4. make oldconfig
5. make dep
6. make
7. make modules
You need to then worry about installing everything. I think there is a
line in Makefile that should enable you to do a make modules-install
without risking trashing your existing modules.
(EXTRA_VERSION= or something like that)
Then install the kernel, reboot and hope :-)
I would recommend you have a boot disk to hand just in case :-)
Regards,
Tim.
