No, I only meant to show how you can easily get the same 2.6 kernel config 
situation as Redhat used into a stock kernel.org 2.6 kernel, since you 
mentioned you would not know "what features to turn on".  Possibly your samba 
misery is coming from updated samba packages and not the kernel at all.

Your video hardware is also nVidia then?  And which X driver are you using?
