If you want to compile a custom kernel, you're better to download the
source directly from www.kernel.org. The Mandrake source rpms have a lot
of extra patches included and you might pull out your hair while compiling
it ;-)
Get the latest kernel in .tar.bz2 format, do:
bunzip2 kernel*
tar xvf kernel*
cd kernel*
make config
make dep; make; make modules;make modules_install; make install
Then edit your /etc/lilo.conf and reboot.
