Hello All
I download
kernel-2.6.5-1.327.src.rpm
and install it with rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.5-1.327.src.rpm
then I compile it with rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/kernel-2.6.spec and
the kernel-2.6.5-1.327.rpm is not created.
Then I install the kernel-source-2.6.5-1.327.rpm created by step below and
execute commands:
make xconfig (to create .config file)
make rpm (to create kernel.spec file)
Please, help me how to correct way for compile the fedora kernel
I also download the linux-2.6.4.tar.bz2 and try same process
It's been awhile since I've rebuilt RH kernels from the SRPMS, but the
easiest way in the past (and I'm sure it still works) would be:
rpmbuild --rebuild --target i386 kernel-2.6.5-1.332.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 kernel-2.6.5-1.332.src.rpm
Now in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i686 would be your kernel (assuming you want
the i686. If you want i586, substitute appropriately) and the
kernel-source package will be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
I last did this during the 2.4 series RH kernels, the 2.6 ones may be
different, though they do not appear to be.
