hm... when i look at the rpm list below i notice that redhat
seems to be doing the same thing they did last time there was a
big upgrade: issue new kernel rpms, forget about the kernel
headers. while these might not change, several programs will barf
if the directory in which the headers are, does not match the
kernel version.... unless they put the headers now in the
kernel, which i doubt. a quick check of the 6.2 kernel rpm
kernel-2.2.19-6.2.15.alpha.rpm shows that

[debussy ~]$ rpm -qlf kernel-2.2.19-6.2.15.alpha.rpm | grep include

it does not contain header files. please redhat, provide the
necessary rpms (in time)...

i'd be careful to start patching without the headers. i'd be
careful without patching either...
