ARGH! It official, I'm an a**! Honest I've been trying to compile this kernel for a while and I've been getting all sorts of errors and stuff has been put all over the place (hmm, I did remove the .rpmmacro file too). Anyway, I did downloaded the src and I have yum download both (I need Moxa drivers). I think half the problem is that I messed things up and the other half is that there is too much wrong or outdated info on Google. Here's what I did so far: wget <a href="ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.src.rpm"> ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.src.rpm</a> rpm -ihv ~/kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4.src.rpm # cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.12/linux-2.6.12/ cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.15/linux-2.6.15/ make xconfig make rpm And when it's done I'll do this: cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.15prep-1.i386.rpm cd /boot mkinitrd initrd-2.6.15-prep.img 2.6.15-prep Thanks for the help and I hope that others find the above useful. If it's incorrect I'll post the corrections (for my sanity as well as others).</blockquote> <div> You know I wanted to ask this question a few days ago.. thanks for taking the bullet for me. This is exactly what I needed. I have another question though. If you needed to patch. WHere would it go in the process? Where would you issue the 'patch -pl' command? Thanks.
