This is the way it worked for me:

- install the kernelsource matching the running kernel
    e.g. rpm -Uhv kernel-source-2.4.20-28.7.i386.rpm
- copy the matching configuration of the running kernel
    e.g. cp /boot/config-2.4.20-28.7 /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config
- extract the driver source
    e.g. tar -xzf linux-dvb-1.0.1.tar.gz
- apply the patch
    e.g. cp compat.h.patch linux-dvb-1.0.1/driver/
         cd linux-dvb-1.0.1/driver/
         patch < config.h.patch
- make the driver
    e.g. make
- make the device nodes
    e.g. ./makedev.napi
- test the driver
    e.g. make insmod
