Hmm... that's strange.
After reading your message, I went and downloaded linux-2.3.45.tar.bz2. I'm running RH6.0/kernel 2.3.42, dual pIII 500, 256mb RAM, 2 SCSI 18gig. I bunzip2'd it, worked fine. I tar -xvf'd it, worked fine. Maybe it has to do with your configuration of the kernel. I stripped mine down to just what I needed. Believe it or not, I only compile 3 or so modules ;). That's because it's a server. Which was probably obvious from the specs, but man, I would love Q3Arena on this baby ;) The smp might be making mine work when yours isn't, I don't know. But probably not.
