Someone else has suggested that you post to a RedHat group for the
answer to a RedHat specific problem.

It is difficult to guess at the problem without actually seeing the
error messages, but just a a wild flying guess:

Do you have the source code for your kernel aboard?  In a Mandrake
system I would also have asked if you installed the development
packages when you installed your system.  It could be that the make
file is looking for the kernel source code and not finding it, or is
looking for libraries that are not present.  Either would throw
different error messages with different make files because each would
be looking for different symbol tables.
