shot in the dark. the /tmp is used for temporary files so im guessing
that the error that you are getting is something like 'cannot create
/tmp/mysql.socks' in which case check if the file is already existing in
/tmp. if it is then delete it (or rename it to something different).

('Course this assumes you have the kernel-source...rpm installed)
o 'cd /usr/src/linux' and 'cp .config config.save'
Edit Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION =
to somethin other than what it's already set to
Uncomment the line, export INSTALL_PATH=/boot
o 'make mrproper' this step is not optional
o 'cp config.save .config' Now you can edit .config
o 'make oldconfig' Then continue on with the regular steps
ciao!
