Hi Amber,

    I think that the easiest solution to your problem is install the Fedora
kernel RPM "3.13.10-200.fc20.x86_64" as requested, just to circumvent this
dependency error.

    You can continue running the custom kernel that you built, choosing it
during the boot process (GRUB menu).

    I also think that is a good idea to install your custom kernel through
RPM. It's easy to create a custom kernel RPM package with the command "make
rpm-pkg"

    Regards.
