# make mrproper `/bin/cp configs/kernel-2.4.20-i686.config .config`
oldconfig dep clean rpm

The resulting rpm file seems to always be built for i386 even though you're
using a 686 .config file.  It looks like kerne.spec file which is generated
from "scripts/mkspec" neglects to issue an arch.  Or you have to edit the
Makefile and slip in a "--target=i686" or "--target=athlon" like so:

$(RPM) -ta --target=i686 $(TOPDIR)/../$(KERNELPATH).tar.gz ; \

before you do the build.

More troubling is the absense of a pre-install and post-install script
embedded within the rpm.  So the kernel install doesn't do the
"/sbin/new-kernel-pkg" trick as in the official kernel rpms.

I guess what is needed is a new mkspec script for RH systems which will slip
in the install scripts.
