What exaactly do you wish to compile?
rpm -q kernel-source

Assuming its installed, cd /usr/src/linux; make menuconfig (Leave to
simmer for 30 minutes and add salt to taste), make dep bzImage modules
modules_install

Go and have a cuppa and once finished;

mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-new.img 2.4.21-xxxx (where xxx is you new kernel
modules --> /lib/modules/xxxxx)

Add a new bootloader entry and reboot.
