I forgot to mention that I'm trying to build 3AS at the beginning of the thread, I did mention the kernel was 2.4.21 though.
I have successfully installed a rebuilt 3AS on a P3 1GHZ system, which used i686 packages where possible, kernel, glibc, and openssl. This is now my current build host. The 2nd computer I'm trying to install to is a K6 III, which 3AS wants to install either i586 or i386 packages, but since the kernel won't build as either of those architectures, I got stuck during the install with a "Unsupport system type error", something to that affect. On the log screen, alt+f3, it showed that the kernel was missing. This machine doesn't have to be RHEL3AS based, I could install Debian on this one, but we would like as many machines as possible to be the same distribution (I'm more used to Red Hat and I have a set of scripts based around apt4rpm to make updating and installing RPMs easy).
