Got a stupid question here: What's the steps to build kernels based on the default kernel on FC4? I just need to compile several network and SATA drives statically into kernel to corrent wrong detection|configuration sequence.
I had the same 'stupid' question, below are the steps I use (I got them from the folks here on the list).
Any one can shed a light on it? I've downloaded the kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.src.rpm and installed the source rpm. Now should I create a patch to patch all the redhat kernel config files like kernel-2.6.15-i686-smp.config, kernel-2.6.15-x86_64-smp.config? and then run "rpmbuild -ba -vv /usr/src/redhat/kernel-2.6.spec" to build all 4 kernels kernel-i686.rpm, kernel-i686-smp.rpm, kernel-x86_64.rpm, kernel-x86_64-smp.rpm with only one command? If not, what's the procedure?
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 rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15/ cp configs/kernel-2.6.15-i686-smp.config .config make xconfig # Adjust to taste 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 If you change kernel version adjust accordingly. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ Backup site
