Got a bit confused there for a bit, as I've got the 2.4.20 kernel patched to 2.4.21, couldn't see the option in "make menuconfig", then realised you're talking about the .22 not the .21 kernel! Doh. Compiling the 2.4.22 kernel at the moment, although can't reboot the computer as am at work and SSH'ing into my PC - can't recompile network card drivers without network card support ;) But will sort it out tonight. Hopefully that'll work now.
Hope it works out.

But with the 2.6.0 kernel you don't have to do "make dep" - if I want modversions.h should I do a "make dep" or best get a patch for the nVidia drivers? Might stick with the 2.4.22 kernel as it does have support for the NForce2 chipset.
Not sure on the 2.6 kernel. I run it on my laptop, but it doesn't have anything exotic that I use (I don't use the winmodem anymore). So I just compile and install at one shteo.

Post it on the web. :-)
Thanks very much for your help so far :) Cheers - Piers
