you don't need to go that far for 2.6.15. It has already been packaged
up for FC4 in updates-testing some weeks ago, e.g.

http://dl.atrpms.net/fc4-i386/redhat/RPMS.updates-testing/kernel-2.6.15-1.1824_FC4.i686.rpm

It's better to use that kernel than rawhide's.

Correct. I did add an updates-testing kernel to FC4's buildsystem, but
2.6.15 breaks a lot of stuff, so I removed it and focus on FC5 and
getting the kmlds built for it. It looks quite OK for now, and FC4
might get the 2.6.15 kernel sooner than FC5 will get released. Let's
see.
