Hmm, you problably forgot to make a symbolic link. You should extract your
kernel under /usr/src/2.4.2 and then make a symbolic link, called 'linux',
to that dir. Otherwise, you'll get the error messages you just discribed.
So : bunzip2 -d kernel-2.4.2.tar.bz2
tar -xvf kernel-2.4.2.tar /usr/src/
cd /usr/src/
mv linux 2.4.2
ln -s 2.4.2 linux
cd linux
After you've done that, your kernel should compile as expected.
