I've been following the RH Building a custom kernel (Appendix A) docs, which I've used in the past on RH 8 & 9 with success.

Well, I'd kinda like to stick with the "red hat" method, as its what I'm used too, and I know my kernel is in-snyc with the distribution, FC1.
This thread is a few days old, so I'll repost a bit of the make dep output, and where it bombs.

As are you, I'm not a kernel guru either. Though it looks as if there are issues autoconf.h which is needed by signal.ver. And thats about as much as I know.... <grin>
Did you do these steps?
make mrproper cp configs/kernel-2.4.22-i686.config .config make oldconfig (necessary for certain buggy systems) make menuconfig make dep export CC=gcc32 <--- important step when you get this far make clean modify /usr/src/linux-2.4/Makefile for version name (optional) make bzImage modules modules_install make install
