I built 2.6.30.1 from kernel.org. I suspect that there are pre-built 
2.6.30 kernels in rawhide or whatever, but I'd rather roll my own. Once 
you get a working config file, it only takes a few minutes. I started 
with the fedora config file (in /boot) and removed all the things I 
don't use, saves a few megabytes.
