file kernel-6.37-0.1.rc1.git0.xendom0.fc15.src.rpm been built by Michael Young and install it.
In mean time following patches :-
patch-2.6.37-rc1.bz2
patch-2.6.37-rc1-git5.bz2
should be downloaded from http://kernel.org and copied to /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES folder
Update /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec correspondently
