    Red Hat 9 is a very outdated OS thats no longer being supported by Red Hat. You are best off looking at Fedora and CentOS if you like Red Hat based operating systems.

    To my knowledge Red Hat 9 came with a 2.4 kernel - I can imagine only trouble trying to upgrade to 2.6 with API breaks etc. If possible have a look at the latest Fedora or CentOS.

    I'm not very up to date on the specific Red Hat kernels, but try using this kernel rebuild guide. It's always worked well for me, so hopefully it will help you, too.
