    I just applied patches to our WS3.0 machines through up2date and got
    kernel-source too. However, it failed to compile kernel.
    The following is the steps I took. Please advise me how to get rid of
    errors.

    1. I opened make menuconfig/xconfig
    2. Turn on IEEE1394 option
    3. save & exit
    4. make dep <-- it looked okay
    5. make modules failed with many "implicit declaration of function" errors

    So, after make clean, I turned off IEEE1394 option and saved it, but it
    looks like it still produced the same errors with make modules. It
    looks like kenern-source for linux-2.4.21-15.EL never be able to be
    compiled due to anomalities in many libraries.

    Here is the example of output:
