It's a while since I did any serious development on a Red Hat (based) system. Since the few e-smith rpms I've been working on so far are all noarch, I've been able to build them quite happily using rpm on Debian. Now, though, I need to do some building on a real E-smith system, so...
1. Is the stock kernel for 5.6 E-smith compiled for i386 or a later
architecture?
2. I'm going to compile the powerswitch module for E-smith. Is it
enough for me to
* Install the kernel source and other devtools
* Copy /boot/config-2.4.18-5 to /usr/src/linux/.config
* run 'make menuconfig' and fill in the missing "Processor type
and features" settings.
* 'make dep'
* Finally, compile the module
Will this work? Have I either missed out some steps or put in too many?
