That is precisely what I've done: cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.35.fc13/linux-2.6.25.x86_64 cp ~/kernel/solar-34-options.config .config make oldconfig make menuconfig (I do NOT make any changes!!!) diff -NurBb ~/kernel/solar-34-options.config .config (this is to see what has been changed - I ONLY execute this during minor revisions, that's all) vi .config (this is to add the magic "# x86_64" at the top) cp .config ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-x86_64-generic rpmbuild -bb ....... That's it! After executing the above sequence, as I already pointed out, there are group of options which are not included, nor are they present in the .config file, where, in my opinion, they should be (CONFIG_DRM_NOVEAU for starters). Am I doing it wrong? > after that DO NOT EDIT .config!!! I have to in order to include the '# x86_64' magic, unless that is no longer necessary as of .35? > Just run make all. > > That's it!!! > No need to run menuconfig UNLESS you need a driver that > was NOT enabled in your original .config from 2.6.34. In the past I used to get errors hen i do not run make menuconfig (don't remember what the error was though), so, since then I just run make menuconfig, don't do any changes and promptly select the 'Exit' option as soon as I see the ncurses menu. Running diff after that just confirms that nothing has changed, apart from the date/time stamp at the top. > Let me know. Once I include the 'missing' options and configure them as they should all is well! The question is - do I have to go through this hoopla and manually add my options when oldconfig does not add them for me? _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
