The patch that I have changes the /drivers/scsi/sg.c. When I apply the patch using the spec file through rpmbuild command, it creates a kernel header rpm under /usr/src/redhat/RPMS The command used: rpmbuild -ba SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec Now, do I need to install the rpm that was created for the change to take effect? Also, if I need to patch another system, can I just take the rpm and install it instead of repeating the patching procedure? Thanks. Abdel...

But if you're planning to patch, say, an lsi scsi kernel module, then yeah, you need the kernel source... The kernel src.rpm's can be found on ftp.redhat.com as well as any mirror that mirrors ftp.redhat.com. -- Jarod Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
