I think what you really want to do is something else (you just don't realize it yet). What you want to do is take the existing Fedora kernel-2.6.spec from the latest kernel srpm and modify it to do your bidding. - remove all patches you do not want to apply - change the source tarball to your ck or other patchset kernel - add in patches if you have them for moving up from that tarball - change the version information in the rpm and add your own info and comments to the specfile changelog (this is always a good idea) And then, you can build an rpm kernel to work with Fedora as it should. To get through all that you're going to need to read some about rpms and specfiles, but in the end you will be much more successful, and a happier person overall!
