FC2, stk16 kernel, nvidia and "no job control"

[Ole Jacob Taraldset]

Hi,

I'm using FC2 and several apt reprositories on my dell inspiron 8600 laptop.
The laptop has an nvidia card and I'm using the 4363 binary nvidia driver
with a 2.6 kernel patch because the is the only driver that works 100% on
my laptop.

To be able to use the 4363 kernel I have to use a kernel with at least 8k
stack. Linuxant has one avaliable that has 16k stack. This works perfectly,
but after the machine has been up for a few days, I get 

Warning: no access to tty (Bad file descriptor).
Thus no job control in this shell.

When trying to open a new shell. I suspect this is a problem with the 16k
stack. Can this be the case, or is might there be some other reason for
this?

If I want to build my own kernel with 8k stack, how do I do that using the
official fedora kernel source? I know how to build my own kernel, but what
I would like to know is: is the kernel source configured as the binary
kernel, or is there a file I can use to automatically configure the source
tree as to make it identical to the binary one?

Regards,
Ole Jacob
