FC3 comes stock with the 2.6.9 kernel. I downloaded the sources for the

The system is a Dell PowerEdge 1800 with a stock 'everything' install of
FC3 using an ext3 filesystem on a 160Gb drive with 1g for /boot, 2g for
swap and the rest as slash.
What am I missing (besides my mind)????
TIA,
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:

Just to add to the confusion, I have 2 FC3 boxes that run with vanilla
kernels, so the Redhat patches are not required. But I can't get a
vanilla kernel working on an FC4 box.
What does your grub.conf file look like?
