I don't think this is the correct forum for this question. This list is
targeted at issues surrounding the Fedora kernel, and you're building
your own kernel. Once you start building your own, with a config that
obviously differs significantly from the Fedora config, we can't
realistically provide support here.

Furthermore, I'm not quite sure I understand why you think you need to
build your own kernel either. To be bluntly honest, if you can't figure
out what's going wrong there on your own, you probably shouldn't be
building your own.
