Yes, it produced ten (10) various *_test.el5.i686.rpms, in the /RPMS/i686
directory, as expected.
The symlink was created by the rpm build & install process...I did not
create it.
That symlink is located in /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5 and is a link
to
../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686, as expected.
The problem is I have nothing named 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5-i686 in my RPM
build tree to copy to /usr/src/kernels/
I only have BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686
uname -r gives me: 2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5
I have:
kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5.i686 "Development package for developing
kernel modules to match the kernel".
and
kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5.i386 "Header files for the Linux kernel for
use by glibc"
installed on my machine.
Is this not the 'kernel-devel' that you refer to?
Or, perhaps I am missing something?
Also, thanks for looking at my problem.
I hope I can also help eventually : )

Let me see if I get the situation correct.
When you built your own kernel with the '_test' added, rebuilding the
srpm should have produced:
kernel-2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5.i686.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.1.3_test.el5.i686.rpm
among other things. You need to install the kernel-devel rpm as well.
That should give you the correct symlink in the /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/ directory.
The BUILD directory you are referring to is where the rebuilding takes
place. It is supposed to have the linux-2.6.18.i686 directory.
