Thanks for the info. I downloaded kernel-2.4.18-3.src.rpm but can't find a spec file. Is it hidden away somewhere?
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. -Torvald -----Original Message----- From: Ian Leonard [mailto:ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 19. desember 2003 11:23 To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx 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?
