Date: Sat, 05 Jul 2003 14:33:59 -0600 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Originating-IP: [12.249.189.237] Message-ID: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I would not be asking this question but I have to say someone maybe even myself will have to make a DOC on this cause there are none!!!! The convention method for configuring, compiling and installing a kernel I am very clear on but why cannot find any documents on how to compile it using "make rpm" or recompile or "rpmbuild -bb" I have searched the bookstores, www.redhat.com, www.tldp, most newgroups and almost every single search result from www.google.com/linux. Conventional Method: tar -zxvf kernel.xx or rpm -ivh kernel-source.i386.rpm ln -s kernel.xx linux make clean make mrproper make menuconfig make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install mkinitrd RPM METHOD: tar -zxvf kernel.xx or rpm -ivh kernel-source.i386.rpm ln -s kernel.xx linux # I think this step may be need if you have a rpm kernel source!! make clean make mrproper make menuconfig make rpm rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-xx.i386.rpm mkinitrd Just currious as to why I cannot find something as simple as that for "make rpm" Still trying to figure out how to use "rpmbuild -bb"
