    It is against the forum rules to use someone else's thread for your help request. I am moving it to a thread of it's own.

    If you want a Red Hat based distro with a modern kernel, I recommend installing Fedora 11 instead. If you want to practice compiling a kernel, you can do it on Fedora too.

    There should be some documentation that came along with the kernel source. I recommend reading it first.
