Rahul recommends:
        http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel
I've found it pretty useful.  


But the easiest way to identify the kernel version is to put this line
into ~/.rpmmacros:
        %dist .fc11.<your-id>
in your case
        %dist .fc11.lanas
and to ignore the stuff about editing
        #% define buildid .local
This will identify anything you build, kernel or otherwise, as
        <whatever>.fcll.lanas.<whatever>
rather than
        <whatever>.fcll.<whatever>

All the best - jon
