The following configures your Redhat kernel source to the flavor of
Redhat kernel you're currently running, if you choose the '???'
appropriately:

       cd /usr/src/linux
       cp configs/kernel-2.4.9-???.config .config
       make oldconfig

The final step is to edit /usr/src/linux/Makefile and change the
definition of EXTRAVERSION to match the version of the running kernel,

I can't remember if you need to run

        make depend

too, maybe that makes the needed version.h
