This may be where I think you went wrong (slightly ...)
If you installed the kernel sources from the RH CD you need to
- get the sources
- cd /usr/src
- rm linux (this is a link to linux-2.2.5)
- now unpack the sources, and continue on...
I like to:
mv linux linux-2.2.12 #eg
ln -s linux-2.2.12 linux
>- make mrproper
^^^-- Hmm... doesn't this erase .config (your old config)?
>- make oldconfig
If make mrproper removes .config, what does make oldconfig do if
there is no .config?
