Certificate expired! (OpenSSL 0.9.8.b+Freeradius 1.1.3+Openldap structure)

Hi to all, Our root certificate is expired!!! We are unable to generate a VALID root certificate. Comparison HTML view is attached. You can see certain fields differences between them. Like; *Serial Number is zero ?!?! X509v3 Basic Constraints: * *CA:TRUE* * (The new one is FALSE does it matter?)* * keyid structure is diffrent * First certificate is valid but it is expired! The other one is not valid. How can I generate a *VALID certificate*???
