Read Documentation/SubmittingPatches in Linux kernel sources. Just the
first section is relevant for making the patch itself, so you don't need
to read further.
Note: patch does not work very well when differed files are in different
depth. So you should
ln -s /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel2.4/linux /usr/src/rhlinux
That will make things less error-prone. I am not sure what path striping
would do otherwise.

Config file of what. I can't see anything like configs directory in
kernel. (I have no experience with red-hat kernels).
