(resending as I have not seen my msg in the mail list and its been 24 hrs) hi, I just dl'd & built a kernel source RPM ( 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5-i686 ) as I needed to set some kernel switches for a new driver.
The rpm build process produced the exact RPMs that I expected, complete with my little version '_test' at the end. The system boots my new 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5 kernel just fine. The problem is that the rpm BUILD output dir only has linux-2.6.18.i686, and my symlink ( /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5/build ) is expecting a 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686 source directory. This was set by the rpmbuild process. Why didn't the RPM build process produce 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686 instead of linux-2.6.18.i686 source code directory? Thanks, I appreciate any insight : )! -m
