Many people have, and there is scattered documentation around the net on custom kernel rpms and kmdls (unfortunately ATrpms' docs suck at the level of being non-existant). I think one of the nicer ones I'm aware of is http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/LCG_kernel_modules.html If you have your kernel already installed and layed out as Fedora expects it all you need is to choose where to drop the macros and simply rpmbbuild --rebuild. Paulo's docs go much further than this as he's doing lots of kmdl rebuilds and has automated every bit there is :) Be aware that the upcoming kmdl2 specs and implementations will be a bit different, but will have better docs ;) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
