Instructions at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel for
building custom kernel do not work.

I'm trying to build a custom kernel for Fedora 10.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow the instructions as given at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel. Copy new Kconfig(s) and
copy some source files into the ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver.new directory.
Some source files are new and some are copied over existing source files.
2. Follow more instructions as given
3. Try to generate patch and perform "make menuconfig"

Actual results:

Patches are generated incorrectly and new options in new Kconfig files don't
show in the kernel configuration menus.


Expected results:

Following the instructions as given should work.
