You can do it another way:

1. Take the .config from Fedora (/boot/config-xxxx) as a starting
point, or create your own one
2. Download the latest kernel source from kernel.org and extract it
3. Copy your .config into the root of the source-tree
4. make oldconfig
5. make
6. make modules_install
7. make install
8. Reboot

This kernel will live peacefully alongside with your existing Fedora
kernel(s).
