Kernel Development With 'rpmbuild'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm playing with building my own kernel using an rpm build tree in my home directory. I want to be able to make a change to the stock kernel and rebuild it using 'rpmbuild'. The kernel is installed there per the instructions in http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/#sn-kernel . I have copied the config file from my currently running kernel and executed 'make oldconfig'.

What are my next steps? I'm guessing that:

now the time to change the config file (using 'make xconfig')?

then rebuild the package? I just want to do this for the smp kernel, isn't there an option such as '--arch=smp' I can use? Or will rpmbuild build for my arch only by default?

Thanks

Bob Cochran
