Greetings
Guys could some one with more experience than me please check this script.
this is the first part of it anyway; this part is supposed to install the new
kernel and kernel src rpm, build the kernel sources as per the realease
notes, don't worry about the arch here as this is for a batch of matching
machines. I would like to work out how to do it for specific kernels but will
get to that later. please just check that this is what needs doing for the
kernel source tree to be built
#!/bin/sh"
echo "Starting the update process"
#set the current directory variable
updatedir=$(pwd)
#install new kernel
rpm -Uvh $updatedir/kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.i686.rpm
#Install kernel source
rpm -Uvh $updatedir/kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.src.rpm
#build the source tree
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
rpmbuild -v -v -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec
cp
-f /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/configs/kernel-2.6.9-i686.config /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/.config
cd $updatedir
echo "Your New Kernel and its Source are installed ;)"
#Done
TIA
