I rebuilt it.  I did so with 2.6.10-1.753.  I used all the stock
settings except for the kernel stack size.  I wrote up the procedure in
case I ever had to do it again.  Let me know if you need it.

I did not see that warning in the build messages, so no, I left it
alone.  The NVidia driver also complains about kernel settings,
specifically the video frame buffer.
