You are really out of luck if you want to use a 2.4.7 kernel. It is way
old and the kernel has changed much since then. Trying to apply a patch
designed for 2.4.19 on a 2.4.7 kernel will lead down a long and arduous
path of pain. Plus, from the looks of it, you are using a redhat
kernel. Keith's patches are against the stock Linux kernel.
If you want to use kdb, I recommend getting the newest 2.4 kernel from
kernel.org, 2.4.20, and applying the kdb v4.2 patches on that.
