One other thing to look out for is if the kernel your compiling
against is using MODVERSIONS. I don't use the default Red Hat kernels, so
I'm not sure how they are set up, I just know that Module Versions was a
problem I ran into in the beginning.

Do not compile with the glibc kernel headers in /usr/include/linux.
Do compile with the kernel headers in /usr/src/linux-2.4/include/linux.
If you don't have them, install the kernel-source-2.4.18-?.i386.rpm
package.
