It has been staring me in the face all this time! Here it is - the solution to *my* problem, though I am not sure how 'generic' this might be and how could be adapted for other architectures: After running "rpmbuild -bp": cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.35.fc13/linux-2.6.35.x86_64 cp configs/kernel-2.6.35.10-x86_64.config all-options (this file seems to contain all the available options, or at least the important ones I care about, and could be used as a basis) cp ~/kernel/solar-34-options.config .config (my .34 config options) make oldconfig (answer all questions) vi .config and add the arch magic perl ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/merge.pl .config all-options > my-options mv my-options .config cp .config ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-x86_64-generic cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild -bb .... - NO need to alter the spec file - NO need to alter anything else - NO need to deviate from the 'normal' build process - IT WORKS! The key is executing the perl script after make oldconfig, which amalgamates all the options not shown/included between kernel revisions. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
