I tried compiling an F14 kernel with a modified ir-kbd-i2c and the resulting 
module gives an "invalid module format" error when modprobe'd.  It's my first 
time trying to compile a kernel, so I'm not sure what the problem could be.  I 
tried to keep it simple by doing "rpmbuild -bp --target=$(uname -m) 
kernel.spec" followed by "make modules".  Any tips?  I figure that, based on 
your job, you might have some small experience in this area.   ;-)
