genksyms comes from the modutils package. Either install modutils from
RPM or compile it from source:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/modutils/

Beware that 2.4 kernel doesn't play well with module-init-tools. You'll
need to have both modutils and module-init-tools installed, while e.g.
/sbin/modprobe will come from m-i-tools and /sbin/modprobe.old will be
the one of modutils. Ditto for insmod, depmod, rmmod, lsmod.
