I tried compiling a vanilla kernel on FC3...didn't work.  I'm no expert, but
it seems like all those patches Redhat made to their FC kernels are
necessary.  Anyways, here are my instructions for recompiling a FC kernel:

Note that it uses `uname -r` a lot.  You can replace that with whatever FC
kernel is available to you.  You can see a list here:
