Is it really that hard with a modern distro? I've built my own kernels
for fifteen years now, but then I don't use Fedora so I can't say if
it's harder to get a working kernel on there than on other systems.
(Yes, you need a working initial ramdisk, but dracut can build those
without much effort, even if you have your own kernel, and
/sbin/installkernel does that, doesn't it? So 'make install' from the
kernel source tree should just do the right thing.)
