Yes I had similar problems with RHL 4.2 First READ THROUGH THE MANUAL FIRST.
It will explain the in's and out's of the common things and explain stuff
that is radically different from the standard linux places for files (RHL
does have a few funny things about it) At first I couldn't compile the
kerenel. BUT you will have to post your exact details of problems to news
groups and if it keeps on failing to compile then your sources are
mostprobrably corrupt. Like Mine were. Just go and get the full source from
ftp.kernel.org and you will be fine. If it refuses to boot then read the
manual first.

Yep btw i am now up to my 11th kerenel.
