Rebuilding the Kernel

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a USB2VGA adapter working.  Step 1 would appear to
be compiling the SISUSBVGA module in the standard kernel tree and
getting it onto my XO.

So I've been trying http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rebuilding_OLPC_kernel

And rpmbuild bombs out the same way whether I use a SRPM or git:

++ /usr/bin/id -u
+ '[' 500 = 0 ']'
+ /bin/chmod -Rf a+rX,u+w,g-w,o-w .
+ mv linux-2.6. vanilla
mv: cannot stat `linux-2.6.': No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.57150 (%prep)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.57150 (%prep)

This is on Fedora 8.

Anyone have any helpful advice?  I'll update the wiki if you do.

--Tom
