Yes, the answer to Kurt's question, which was how to do it the "fedora way".
Admittedly I have not seen the need to rebuild a kernal since the RHL 7.x days,
so take this with a grain of salt. If by fedora way you mean make a kernel
rpm, why not simply take the kernel source rpm, modify the spec file to suit and
run rpmbuild -ba kernel.spec? Go have lunch and check what you have after lunch.
You might have to add some additional packages to your build machine to
satisfy build deps but it should not be any harder than that.
The kernel is not all that different from any other rpm.
