Actually the message you replied already contained them in a condensed
form, but you're probably after the long version:

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/LCG_kernel_modules.html

Thanks to Paulo for maintaining this howto.

But still note that FC6 is out of maintenance from Red Hat
itself. Which means that if a kernel vulnerability comes up in say two
weeks you will even need to build your own kernel rpms (or live with
the security problem).

So perhaps the time invested to build kmdls would be better spent
upgrading the system from FC6 to F8? I did that on several systems and
nothing bad came up. Cou can also sidegrade to RHEL5/CentOS5 which is
FC6-based if you want to avoid fully upgrading every year
(RHEL5/CentOS5 will be supported for 7 years).
