Well the problem is simple they appear to run and complete, and I can tell, simply because the command is rpm -ivh kernel* I see the hashes run across the screen. and it is good. but after the whole script is run I rebooted and got error 15 "file not found" Immediately I booted the old kernel and checked the /boot dir for the new kernel files, and they are not there. So I run the command manually from the command line and check again, there they are. I check the script and copy the kernel section to a test script I format reload and try again run the test script and it works. put the working scripts content back into my main script, reload again and it doesn't work. here is the section of the script maybe some here has an idea as to why it won't do the kernel bit. I have taken out the some of comments to see the commands more clearly. #!/bin/bash #set the current directory variable updatedir=$(pwd) echo "%_solve_pkgsdir /var/cache/apt/archives/" > /root/.rpmmacros echo "%_solve_name_fmt %{?_solve_pkgsdir}/%%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}. %%{ARCH}.rpm" >> /root/.rpmmacros mkdir -p /var/cache/apt mkdir -p /etc/apt/ cp -rf $updatedir/gpg /etc/apt/ rpm --import /etc/apt/gpg/* cp $updatedir/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list rpm --rebuilddb cp -r $updatedir/archives /var/cache/apt/archives rpm -ivh --aid /var/cache/apt/archives/apt*.rpm rpm -ivh --aid /var/cache/apt/archives/synaptic*.rpm cp $updatedir/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list #install new kernel and src rpm -ivh /var/cache/apt/archives/kernel*.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ rpmbuild -v -v -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec cp -var /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/configs/kernel-2.6.9-i686.config /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/.config <this is one line in the script > cd $updatedir -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
