Jerry,

The kernel-sourcecode package (it is no-arch) doesn't always apply all
kernel patches for the arch in question.  I actually think it is kind of
worthless and we will probably stop including it.

Try this instead :)

Download the kernel-xxxxx.src.rpm

do:

rpm -Uvh kernel-xxxxx.src.rpm

go to the SPECS directory and do this:

rpmbuild -bp --target i686 kernel-xxx.spec

then go to the BUILD directory and go down to the kernel directory and
build there.

(substitute the versions for xxxxx ... also use the correct --target for
the kernel you are trying to compile)  This will get all the target
related patches applied.
