What I see in the 7.3 i386 updates directory is this:
[root@canyon i386]# ls *kern*
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16.i386.rpm kernel-doc-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm
kernel-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm kernel-doc-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm
kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm
kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm
kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm
What I have on this 7.3 system is this:
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16
kernel-wlan-ng-0.1.14-4
kernel-wlan-ng-modules-%{linvers}-0.1.14-4
kernel-utils-2.4-8.20
kernel-source-2.4.20-2.2
kernel-wlan-ng-modules-rh73.5-0.1.14-4
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-18
kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x
(The source is from Phoebe trying it out. I also had 2.4.18-19.7.x
on there as well - both same result).
What I have now done (or attempted) on this one system with
no other changes:
2.4.18-5 Builds 2.4.18-5custom successfully.
2.4.18-18.* Fails building modules
2.4.18-19.* Fails building modules
2.4.20-2.2 Fails building modules
Generic Builds...
Untared linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2 from redhat/SORUCES directory,
copied the .config file from the 2.4.18-19.x into the resulting directory.
"make oldconfig ; make dep bzImage ; make modules" successfully builds
a complete kernel and modules for 2.4.18.
Untared linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 from redhat/SORUCES directory,
copied the .config file from the 2.4.20-2.2 directory into the resulting
directory. "make oldconfig ; make dep bzImage ; make modules" successfully
builds a complete kernel and modules for 2.4.20.
So...
2.4.18-5 builds fine
2.4.18 generic builds fine
2.4.20 generic builds fine
2.4.18-18.* Blows chunks building modules
2.4.19-19.* Blows chunks building modules
2.4.20-2.2 Blows chunks building modules.
All on same system, no other changes.
Next.
