It depends on which files got rejected and how different the base files
are in Linus's tree and RH 2.4.2-2.  There were a lot of changes in the
2.4.2-ac tree and kdb itself changed from 1.7 to 1.8 during that time.
I don't recommend it, why not switch to a clean Linus tree, preferably
something more recent that 2.4.2.  If you have to use RH 2.4.2-2, ask
RH for a modified kdb patch, RH know which patches they applied to the
kernel.
