Compiling myoung's f12 dom0 on RHEL6

[Digimer]

I hope this isn't too off-topic. :)

I'm trying to recompile Michael Young's F12 dom0 kernel[1] on RHEL 6. 
I've run into a small issue that I could probably push through, but I 
wanted to ask for opinions here.

The source RPM depends on 'asciidoc', which isn't in the main Red Hat 
repository (at least, not that I could find). I was wondering what, 
exactly, needs asciidoc and if it would be safe/easy/possible/advisable 
to remove that dependency.

Thanks!

It seems to be used in the perf Documentation. It is probably safe to 
remove, or you could get it from the EPEL repository (it is in EPEL5, I 
can't see it in EPEL6 yet).

After sending that, I installed asciidoc from source and removed the 
requirement from the spec and it seemed to go well. I plan to install 
and test it tonight. I'll try another build with no asciidoc at all and 
see how it goes, too.

Thanks for the reply. :)

A bit of a tangent, if I may.

I just tried to install the recompiled kernel and it's complaining that 
it depends on 'kernel-firmware', which wasn't built. Was something extra 
needed at build time to have it created?

Thanks again. :)

Rebuild with --target=noarch

Running now, thanks for the help.
