I went with kernel.src.rpm and had no trouble building a 1240 kernel. But I'm having trouble with xen kernels. I did (in the right dirs): rpm -Uvh xen-2-20050403.src.rpm rpmbuild -bp --target=i386 xen.spec cp /boot/config-2.6.11-1.1240-FC4xen0 .config make The make immediately complains about all the XEN config parameters (nonexistent symbols), and then tries to run config which removes the XEN parameters. What am I missing? I haven't been able to find any docs for building xen targets. Jeff
