If you're using a stock RedHat kernel then the solution is:
1. Install the kernel source RPM corresponding to the running kernel
2. locate the config file corresponding to the architecture of your machine
in /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs. Copy that file to /usr/src/linux-2.4/.config
3. hack driver/Makefile to set the KERNEL_LOCATION variable to
/usr/src/linux-2.4 (RedHat specific)
3. Make the DVB driver.
