I have to confess that I don't use a Fedora kernel (I'm running
vanilla 2.6.20.3 from kernel.org), so I should just shut up.
I can however report that make, make modules_install, make install is
all I have to do here.

I decided to try 'make rpm' which created the kernel rpm which I installed.
I then ran ' new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install
2.6.18-build-1' which created my initrd and added an entry to my
grub.conf file.However on rebooting , the new kernel failed to load
with the same error message as before :
"Error 13:Invalid or unsupported executable format
Press any key to continue....."
Pressing any key redirects me back to the grub menu, and selecting the
older kernel still works.
Maybe the source rpm I downloaded
(kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.src.rpm)is wrong ?When I did
$rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep
kernel|sort
I got :
kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i386
kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686
for the currently installed kernel(i.e the one installed by
Anaconda).Isn't kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.src.rpm is the correct source
rpm , right?
