OK. Cool. Now we are making progress. I think this is a nasty problem. There are numerous RPMs that will build against the kernel tree and be busted. I would expect an rpm -ba on your DEFAULT kernel in Redhat with the sources contained in the kernel.rpm files to also be broken unless someone has done this. You probably should have someone check this out. I just built the SCI drivers against 2.4.15-pre7 and they blow up as well.
