The answer is to do what the Linux distributions do. Use the kernel SRPM to create a kernel RPM, and then transport that to wherever you need, and do an "rpm -i" command to install it. Look at the .spec file for your distribution's kernel SRPM to see how they do it.

I now want to install that kernel on several (perhaps many) other systems. One possibility is to go through the entire kernel install process on each system. I would like to reduce the work. I have seen several presentations/documents on building, but not on migrating kernels. One of my concerns has to do with prereq products, like gcc, for instance. Can anyone help of provide guidance?
