Fedor, Thanks for your detailed response.
After having to dig out the md5sums from different packages (I had althon and intel kernel rpms for 2.4.18-5 and I wasn't sure which one was actually running). Anyway after following the procedure I now get compile errors saying that I "can't compile against the currently running kernel". I am using the include path that the makefile suggests I should use.
