Yeah, you need to configure the kernel before building it.  I personally
like `make xconfig', though lots of people like doing it through text
menus with `make menuconfig'.

However, I would think that RedHat came with the ftape module already
compiled.  Have you tried just doing `modprobe ftape' as root?  (or is
there some reason for you to compile it fresh?)
