You'll note that this does not install the kernel _source_. Which is what

give you /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec for example.
Why do you need that?
I have built other kernel modules, madwifi for example, but I don't recall
needing the kernel spec file.
mpt-status apparently currently needs the kernel source:

As I'm not terribly au fait with building stuff I'm assuming it needs the
source of the lsi/mpt/fusion drivers to compile... However I've just tried
the RPM (release candidate, not final 1.2.0 version unfortunately):
http://www.drugphish.ch/~ratz/mpt-status/RPMS/1.2.0_RC7/mpt-status-1.2.0_RC7-3.i386.rpm
and that seems to work if you install it, then do

/etc/modprobe.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp]# /sbin/modprobe mptctl

NONE
ioc0 phy 1 scsi_id 1 SEAGATE ST373207LC 0002, 68 GB, state ONLINE, flags

So, that'll do.
Thanks for the help.
