OK..

Getting closer to the targe :)

Error - missing file /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build/.config !!
  Verify kernel source is in /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build and then
  cd to /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build and run 'make config' !!

Exception: if you're using a stock RedHat/Fedora kernel...
  (1) Install the appropriate kernel-source RPM.
  (2) Copy the appropriate config...
      from /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build/configs/<...>
      to /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build/.config
  (3) Do *NOT* 'make dep' or 'make config'.

# rpm -q kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL
kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL

And here I'm guessing,... as I don't know exactly how to find out if the 
src.rpm is installed.
# rpm -q kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.src
package kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.src is not installed

NOTICE this is not ELsmp. I can't seem to find a ELsmp source kernel.
