He is attempting to build 2.6.24 directly under 8.10.  Your solution
would cause problems because the kernel would be built with a different
version of gcc than any modules you tried to add (nvidia, vmware or
whatever else you may add to your kernel).

I snipped the next part since it does not address his question.

Not surprising since there is no rt patch for 2.6.28.
