EL4 ES kernel recompile

[Dave Francis]

Hi Guys
 
Im trying to recompile the kernel in EL4 ES in order to get the clock
running correctly under VMware ESX. 
 
As Redhat dont provide much info on the process for this under EL4, ive
kinda worked blind up to here, and now Im stuck. 
Fresh build.
First, ive updated (up2date).  (inc Kernel).
Next I installed the kernel source through up2date. 
Then I tried a make mrproper, and thats where Im stuck.
