Kernel RPM question: What if...

[Martin Stone]

Hi,

What if I wanted to build a kernel RPM for FC1 that was like the existing 2.4.22 
ones except for being 2.4.26?  Where would I start?  I see that the spec is 
fairly long, and includes a bunch of patches, etc.  Can anyone give me a hint on 
a starting point?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely?

The reason I'm trying to do this is that with FC1 stock kernels I am getting 
random kernel *freezes* - not panics or even oopses - on multiple machines even 
when trying the usual frequently recommended "apm=off acpi=off nohlt" 
recommended incantations.  It's my hope that some kind of bugfix has been 
applied somewhere along the line that would address this problem, as I can't 
seem to debug it.

Any ideas of any kind in this vein would be greatly appreciated at this point...

Thanks,
Martin
