Which one is the right way ?
Would it become rpm? And how about to become a rpm ?
How to remove the error kernel if failed ?
If you can't answer these questions yourself, you don't need to compile the kernel. Redhat doesn't provide support for custom-compiled kernels. Further, all modules you could possibly need have been compiled by Redhat. As to your USB hard-disk problem, I don't recall seeing the thread, so maybe I'm asking you to do something you've already done. Plug in the HD, then post the output of 'dmesg | tail' and 'tail /var/log/messages'
