You *have* to actually build the kernel with whichever configuration file you eventually figure out Fedora 3 is using. The kbuild modules process now requires a copy of the actual object files - it's not just sufficient to have a config file and headers installed somewhere. This is partly because the extra linking stages for modules really want some symbols defined during a kernel build. Jon. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
