If your distribution provides either a properly configured kernel source or a kernel headers package (with config stuff all set) then you are laughing. If you just take a stock kernel from kernel.org then this will need configuring. Also be warned that may distros (mandrake use to be good for this) will apply many patches to ther kernel and it can become very different to the stock kernel, in this case you MUST get the source for the running kernel from your distros source packages. Also keep gcc the same. As mentioned my someone again recently, often the .config for the running kernel is also copied in to /boot/????.config and coping this back to the kernel source dir as .config sets all the correct config stuff.
