I thought you want to add a custom patch to the FC3 kernel by building the kernel as an RPM from the SRPM. a) Yes, the "target" for rpmbuild is one of those defined in the kernel-2.6.spec file. Your Pentium M is --target=i686. b) If you want to rebuild the kernel RPM by adding your patch then edit the .spec file. You see there serveral patches already. So add i.e. Patch10010: s3_late_bios_new.patch (keep care the patch file is located in the SOURCES directory) and below add the corresponding patch line %patch10010 -p1 Now if your patch requires to make a setting in the config add for file in *.config; do echo "CONFIG_OPTION_NAME=y" >> $file done That will add the setting for all config files. Having edited the spec file you now build the kernel RPM running rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec The advantage of going this route is, that when you install the new kernel it will be added to grub automatically.
