1. Are you using the patch:

ftp://ftp.isd.cme.nist.gov/pub/emc/emcsoft/release9J.tgz

2. The two kernel source files you need are:

ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/i386/kernel-source-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm

and

ftp://updates.redhat.com/5.2/i386/kernel-headers-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm

Note: I think Tim Goldstein found these two files on CD #2 in the Red Hat
boxed set.

To make sure that you are starting with a clean slate you may have to remove
everything under /usr/src/linux, then install the two kernel RPMs and finally
retry the patch. See /usr/src/linux/README for more info on starting from
scratch.

Good Luck,

P.S. I'm sure we can get you past this little bump in the road ... and on
your way, over the cliff!
