SYA 710 Kernel Compile Lab

It's a week or two late - I've been busy with the Func project, to the exclusion of much else - but after a few attempts the kernel compilation lab is done. I grabbed the freshest 2.6.27 off kernel.org, grabbed the required packages, and off I went to spin up a new kernel. There were some initial problems with one step in the compilation of some particular component ('no rule to make target 'n/n' on a file 'ngen.so''), but a bit of Googling quickly turned up a solution. The solution (which involved simple answering a single question about external firmware loaders differently during 'make menuconfig') was also from a Fedora Core 9 user, so perhaps there's a bug somewhere there that neds to be worked out. One of the later commands in the course notes regarding kernel compilation, the syntax offered for 'mkinitrd' in particular, did not work for me, and I've added a note with the syntax that did to this page of the wiki.
