RE: Upgrading kernel-BOOT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The kernel-2.4.18-3.src.rpm contains a spec file which builds all kinds of
kernels, among other the BOOT variety. So you need to install the src.rpm,
modify the spec file to install the patches you need, and run rpmbuild -bb
kernel.spec (you could modify the spec file to just build the BOOT kernel,
to save time). And voila, in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 you have a new
kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-3.i386.rpm.

Subject: Upgrading kernel-BOOT


Greetings,

We have a kickstart install based on RedHat 7.3. We find that on a 
particular
motherboard the CD boots but then linux can't find the cdrom driver. The 
solution
appears to be to replace the kernel. This appears to be in 
kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-3.i386.rpm.

So I need to upgrade it. However I can't find a srpm file or a spec file 
anywhere.

Can anyone advise on what to do next?

TIA.
