The x86_64 FC5 kernel in regards of packaging behaves just like the UP i686 kernel. E.g. everything works if you just use rpmbuild --rebuild kmod-foo --define "kversion 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5" --define "kvariants """ > Are there plans to > implement this feature for FC4 srpms? Nope, this would only confuse users. CU thl -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
