what do es it mean by "please enter your correct kernel source tree"????
im a complete newbie so pls help.
thanks in advance.

locate and install the kernel sources relative to the kernel you are running now.

The absolute only place I can find the sources for this kernel is here.

http://rpm.pbone.net

type in the search bar,

kernel-source-2.4.20-6.i386.rpm

and search there will be downloads for this rpm package.

install it with
rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.4.20-6.i386.rpm

but mine is a i686 one.

here is some of my system information------------
