Jerry,
The kernel-sourcecode package (it is no-arch) doesn't always apply all
kernel patches for the arch in question. I actually think it is kind of
worthless and we will probably stop including it.
Try this instead :)
Download the kernel-xxxxx.src.rpm
do:
rpm -Uvh kernel-xxxxx.src.rpm
go to the SPECS directory and do this:
rpmbuild -bp --target i686 kernel-xxx.spec
then go to the BUILD directory and go down to the kernel directory and
build there.
(substitute the versions for xxxxx ... also use the correct --target for
the kernel you are trying to compile) This will get all the target
related patches applied.
