So please refrain from replying directly to sender. Reply to list. I think there must be a problem with the way the server is formatting the message headers, so they when a member clicks reply, the reply is addressed to the person, rather than to the list . Could the list admin please look into this? The fedora user list works well because a Reply automagically puts the list email address in the To: field. Now, as I said, you have to do a make oldconfig first. This was explained ina previous email where the steps were detailed as follows: cd ..../SRPMS rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.35.10-74.fc14.src.rpm cd ../SPECS rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.35/linux-2.6.35.i686/ cp Your-Current-Config-FIle-of your-current-booted-kernel .config make oldconfig when done, cp .config ......./SOURCES/config-local and the rest of the instructions are as in previous post. But all this is moot - For some weird reason, rpmbuild is not able to parse the line %define all_arch_configs kernel-%{version}-i?86*.config correctly. i.e. it is not expanding i?86* properly. Why this is happening is not within my knowhow. I know next to nothing about how rpmuild parses the spec file. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
