Great guide too. Very very helpful. Can you change “make modules_install” to “make modules && make modules_install”

Personally, I do not use them. Generally, I do not recommend using them. They are simply a way of avoiding learning about what you are doing. Bypassing the learning is the Red Hat Way; it is not my way. Also, you can get very unexpected results such as lacking any kernel support for hardware you use because the hardware wasn't plugged in or the module wasn't loaded when you did the configure.

Hey Zordrak,

about new kernels (2.6.33 as example), there are new ways to get the modules compiled right?
you have already tried?
you will update this post to complain with new rules?
