kernel build fails

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

I'm try to rebuild the 2.6.11 kernel using the instructions at this web page, 
mentioned in a recent post as a good guide.

http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/

I'm using the src rpm

kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.src.rpm

as the source, and have followed the instructions to the letter, using "i686" 
as my ARCH (the output from uname -p)

everything is OK until step 8

 > rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec

.

+ cp 
-fv /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i386.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586-smp.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i586.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i686-smp.config /home/jonesc/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i686.config .

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.52092 (%prep)


so - what am I doing wrong ?

cheers Chris
