I am trying to build a custom kernel rpm and need help.

[Sharpened Blade]

I have a few custom (out-of-tree) drivers and patches, and I want to add them to a rpm package for the kernel, how can I do that. The drivers have to go in the staging folder, but they dont seem to get built by the spec file.

Please ignore this, I though my previous post was accidentally deleted.

Correct. The mere presence of some additional patch files makes no  
difference, whatsoever.

You also need to modify the spec file accordingly, and apply the patch.

You might want to start by looking at some other, smaller, simple packages  
that apply a handful of basic patches to upstream source before building it.  
The kernel package is one of the bigger and the most complicated ones. You  
want to get your bearings, first, by looking at something simpler.
