Title: How do I configure 6.2 kernel to accept ip rule?

Hi,
I have a Compaq 1850r that does not do filesystem partitions
at all after RH 6.2.  This is to be a download server that needs
RX/TX packets to be load balanced on all three NICs.
In order to accomplish that I need both "ip route" and "ip rule"
to work (right now only "ip route" works).  Thus, there is incoming
packets load balancing but all packets go out via eth0.
I currently have kernel-2.2.14-5.0 installed, and have downloaded
kernel-2.2.19-6.2.12.i386.rpm, etc.  I read that I have to configure
the kernel by selecting the CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES option.

How do you do that?

Can someone please help me with the steps I need to take to
accomplish either configuring the kernel with these options,
or explaining the steps I need to make the current and/or
updated kernel allow for "ip rule" to work.

Currently when I do "ip rule list", I get the error message:
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
Dump terminated


Any help is much appreciated,
Robert Richardson.
