That is why I had suggested this to the thread first. Because it seems
there is a lot the kernel.org kernel does not do. Please do not get me
wrong, I know how to, and have compiled the kernel. But there is enough
difference to warrant, IMO, the Redhat Linux Project to just maybe tweak
the kernel so it compiles less problematically under Redhat. Just maybe
edit the scripts, or maybe just point us to people who do this if they
are available.
