what I did so far:
wget
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.src.rpm
rpm -ihv ~/kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.src.rpm
# cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.12/linux-2.6.12/
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
*** <- Right here (see below)
rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15/
make xconfig
make rpm
And when it's done I'll do this:
cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.15prep-1.i386.rpm
cd /boot
mkinitrd initrd-2.6.15-prep.img 2.6.15-prep
You know I wanted to ask this question a few days ago.. thanks for
taking the bullet for me. This is exactly what I needed. I have
another question though. If you needed to patch. WHere would it go in
the process? Where would you issue the 'patch -pl' command?
Warning: I'm guessing here!
Actually I got this from the list so thanks goes out to other
member of the list. See where I put the note above (***), that's
where I add my patches. First I'd take a look at the kernel-2.6.spec
and find the last patch. Just before:
# END OF PATCH DEFINITIONS
I'd add something like:
Patch19999: my-patchfile.patch
Then a little later in the file:
#%patch10004 -p1
%patch199999 -p1
# END OF PATCH APPLICATIONS
Then I'd put my patch file in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ and
continue the process. Just make sure that your patch isn't
already in there.
I hope that helps.
