For make rpm, has anyone had experience with this going horribly wrong? I had two instances in my grub.conf to boot the same kernel (one passed some options to the kernel the other not). After running rpm -Uhv on the new kernel rpm it complained that it could not find a valid kernel in my grub.conf and deleted the two existing instances. It also for some unknown reason deleted the previous kernel and the modules from /lib/modules/2.4.18-3 related to that kernel. I was lucky I was able to boot the new kernel (2.4.18-3custon) via the command line in grub.
