It has to do with the fact that I have binary-only drivers for the 
2.4.20-8 kernel but no others, and that neither the host-skas3a-RH8.patch 
nor the host-skas3.patch that I found on Sourceforge will patch the
linux-2.4.20-8 source as installed by the kernel-source-2.4.20-8 RPM.

Optimally, I'll learn how to get the SKAS patches into that kernel,
and rebuild it.
