There are several issues here:

- 2.6.9 appears to predate some Kbuild changes (like looking for the 
Kbuild file in the external module directory, and instead going for 
Makefile).  Presumably this is easy to fix.
- RHEL 4's kernel is some mix of 2.6.9 and features from future kernels; 
this may defeat our compatibility detection.

This is all fixable, but will require someone with time and determination.
