I also had trouble updateing from RH3 to RH4.2 (2.0.30).
I found that reading the RedHat manual helped a lot but since you don't have
one I will try to recall it from memory..

	The start, obviously get in the /usr/src/linux-2.0.30
	make dep ; make clean
	make config (or whatever you use)
	make boot
	make modules
	delete old old modules
	move old modules to where the old old opnes were.
	make modules_install.
	copy the zImage to /boot
	lilo
	and then the other file that you only do if you have SCSI cards.

This is pretty vague, if you have any more problems emailme and I will get my
manual from home and find out in more detail.
