And leaves you with no Fedora patches and the disk performance regression issues 
of 2.6.32. Also a tainted kernel which some developers will ignore if you get a 
trace, etc. And the last time I looked there was no ATI patch for 2.6.32.2 
unless I missed it.

Building from source means it will compile, not that it will work.
