Hi,
I'm try to rebuild the 2.6.11 kernel using the instructions at this web page, mentioned in a recent post as a good guide.
http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/
I'm using the src rpm
kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.src.rpm
as the source, and have followed the instructions to the letter, using "i686" as my ARCH (the output from uname -p)
everything is OK until step 8
> rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
.

+ cp -fv /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i386.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586-smp.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i686-smp.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i686.config .
`/home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i386.config' -> `./kernel-2.6.11-i386.config'
Where did this i386 config file come from? Is that the one you copied into the rpm SOURCES directory in step 7 of the tutorial?
`/home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586-smp.config' -> `./kernel-2.6.11-i586-smp.config'
`/home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586.config' -> `./kernel-2.6.11-i586.config'
`/home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i686-smp.config' -> `./kernel-2.6.11-i686-smp.config'
`/home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i686.config' -> `./kernel-2.6.11-i686.config'
+ for i in '*.config'
+ mv kernel-2.6.11-i386.config .config
++ head -1 .config
++ cut -b 3-
+ Arch=
+ make ARCH= nonint_oldconfig
The i386 config file appears to be the source of the problem.
