It would seem that your /etc/modules.conf has a reference to the
ata_piix kernel module (which does not exit in 2.4.26). See if you have
something like that and erase it (make a backup copy just in case) from
modules.conf, do a "/sbin/modprobe -a" and try reinstalling...

Which source RPM? If it is kernel-source then that's not what you are
looking for. You have to install the .src.rpm, you will find a link to
it in the "System Stuff" web page in the Planet CCRMA site.
