Well first thing, the 2.5 kernel series was the development series used to develop the current 2.6 kernel. Why don't you build a 2.6 kernel. The speedtouch works for me on Fedora Core 2, I have it installed on another partition. Like you I had to recompile the kernel as it didn't have atm enabled in the kernel, though I think I read somewhere that a kernel module is available as an .rpm . As for your problems compiling the kernel, for a 2.6 kernel you don't do make dep, make clean or make bzImage, so that may be the problem. After you've done make menuconfig you do make and then make modules_install and then copy bzImage and System.map to boot. This page has stuff about the speedtouch on core 2
