Uh, the above three steps are the 'hard' way to do this.  The
easy way is to install the correct RPM for the kernel source,
which is:
    kernel-source-2.0.36-0.7.i386.rpm
    kernel-headers-2.0.36-0.7.i386.rpm (probably already there)

Doing it this way saves you the extra build and installs the source
in the correct places under /usr/src/linux.

Then you do the rest of the steps you mentioned, which were fine.
