First, you don't need to be -- and probably *shouldn't* be -- root when you do anything other than run yum or other admin utilities. Also, keep in mind that if you're not *running* Rawhide, to get the latest kernel you need to enable that repo. Might I suggest these alternate steps? $ su -c 'yum install yum-utils rpmdevtools' $ rpmdev-setuptree $ yumdownloader --enablerepo=rawhide --source kernel $ rpm -ivh kernel-<blah>.src.rpm $ su -c 'yum-builddep kernel-<blah>.src.rpm' $ rpmbuild -bp ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec $ cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-* -- Paul W.
