Hello!
I have used Linux since RH9 to FC3 for 6 months but I don't know how
to complie the kernel because I can't find any clear procedure to do
that. And I noticed that kernel 2.6 is changed and some steps needn't.
I am new in complie the kernel because I just install the rpm before.
And due to my USB harddisk shown the buffering error shown from
kernel. So I may need to re-complie the kernel to fix it.

If you want the basics, just read the README file in the
directory where you unpacked the kernel source files.
With the latest FC3 kernel, I followed the directions
in the release notes to unpack the kernel src rpm. That
put the source code here:
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9
Read the README file in that directory for instructions
on how to build the kernel.
