Hello
Using FC2, I would like to build a modular kernel on one machine and transfer it to a different target machine(s).
I thought the 'make xconfig rpm' options of the kernel source makefile would do the job in one easy step but it doesn't seem to get the full job done. It builds 2 rpm's (source and binary) which get all the compiled and linked components packaged up.
The problem that I have is that no initrd is added to the binary package so it can't just be unpacked on the target ready to run.
If I install the source package on the target machine and do a 'make install' it then needs all the dependants for building a kernel and justs builds everything again.
Does anyone know a way to make kernel 'make rpm' build a useable rpm?
I know I can write a script to make the initrd on the target but what is the point of the 'make rpm' option if you can't use the result?
