I've looked at this, and the glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20.i386.rpm is the rpm 
which gets installed on a default Red Hat 8.0 installation.

There's no such kernel-headers*.rpm which accompanied earlier releases.

My continued work on this has been to remove the second CPU and pop a 
terminator into slot 2 of the motherboard (for now, I really don't need the 
second cpu anyway). I still get the following error when trying to compile 
the kernel:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target 
`/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers/pci/devlist.h', needed by `names.o'.  
Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers/pci'
make[2]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers/pci'
make[1]: *** [_subdir_pci] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/drivers'
make: *** [_dir_drivers] Error 2

I'm starting to think I should go back to the kernel which came with the 
default install of RH8 and see how that goes.

I don't know, I'm open to ideas from people.

Michael.
