Hi,
I have been rebuilding the 2.6.18-8.1.1 kernel, it all works, and i can
boot from the kernels, but im a little puzzled about the size of the
modules directory.
The stock rpm install has a total of 81M of modules, where as, if i use
the stock config for a kernel build i get a modules directory of 446M
The method i am using to create the rpm is;
install the kernel-2.6.18-8.1.1-src.rpm
in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS run rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64
kernel-2.6.18.spec
then in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18-x86_64
make mrproper
cp /boot/config-2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 .config
make oldconfig
make rpm
Does anyone know how the stock rpms are built?
rpmbuild -bb --target <arch> kernel-2.6.spec
Haven't done a 'make rpm' in some time, but my suspicion is that the
size difference is due to 'make rpm' not doing debuginfo stripping.
