Ok, first of all make sure you have an official kernel tarball.
Remove the current /usr/src/linux directory.
rm -rf /usr/src/linux
Untar the new official tarball.
cd /usr/src tar zxvf linux-2.0.35.tar.gz
cd linux
Now you should be ready to roll. The only catch is that you ABSOLUTELY MUST have gcc-2.7.2 installed, and it must exist as /usr/bin/gcc.
If you have egcs installed, and it gets invoked, you most likely will not get a kernel.
