you need to update the dep chain downward. Also keep in mind that the
fc4 kernel releases are often in quick succession and in most cases
involve fix's. So you are going to be rebuilding the kernel often.
My recommendation would be to get the centos kernel, and build a patch
for that - you can then just rebuild it to suit your own purpose.
