Actually it's /usr/src/kernel-2.4.20-8 but /usr/src/linux is a link to
it I created for copatibility reasons.

Did all that.

Will do that, but If it breaks down to the above, it won't be of any
help, I guess. Usually I know how to compile modules, I compiled loads
of modules last night (alsa, prism2_usb, ivtv etc.) without problems.

I'll have a look at this one.

Is there an rpm with precompiled modules for 2.4.20-8? 
I have to stick with that kernel becoause I rely on cle266 binary
drivers.
