 No, I wouldn't think that either of those would really affect it.. Make
clean just gets rid of things that aren't needed anymore.

Thanks Scott. However, right after installing the ATrpm custom kernel, I did
almost as you described. Except I didnt make menuconfig after copying the
config file into the kernel source dir, and I didn't run make clean. I just
copied the config file, edited Makefile to remove "custom" from the Kernel
string, and then did make dep. Do you think that forgetting to make
menuconfig and make clean could have caused this problem? I'm unable to
compile anything that relies on v4l or i2c without getting lots of
unresolved symbols from those two packages.
Thanks.

If you've installed a kernel via RPM, you should also download the kernel
sources RPM and install it. Once that's done, see if there's a symlink from
your kernel sources to /usr/src/linux .. If not.. 

$> cd /usr/src
$> ln -s linux-<my_kernel_version> linux 

Then, you'll need to change over to that directory and run a few commands.. 

$> cd /usr/src/linux
$> cp /boot/config-<my_kernel_version> ./.config $> make menuconfig 

Don't change anything, just save it. Then.. 

$> make dep; make clean 

That should set up all the headers so that you can compile programs that
create loadable kernel modules.
