Yes Dennis, the answer looks fine, but how does it incorporate here:
cp config-`uname -r` .config
make mrproper
make all
make modules
make modules_install (as root)
make install (as root)
make install here, this command expects mkintrd and Fedora does not have it, and it needs dracut now? How do we tell make install that we need dracut to this automagically? Can we script it? I am sure that many users just # yum install mkintrd -y
and move on, but if we want to use Fedora's way(not rpm build but regular mortal way) we are at a loss :(, also there is not good enough documentation on the nouveau issues(if there is no one is sharing it :( )
I can apply patches easily
patch -p1 < ????,
but dracut in place of mkinitrd, in make install is not that easy :(
If there's a way to do it, I am sure more than one person would be happy to know :)

Antonio
