I just finished building a kernel based on kernel-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.src.rpm. I hand applied the patches.

I welcome any feedback / suggestions for the proposed method I outlined there. While you are there, look also at the issues described for Point 3 (note 12052). Anyone can help in there as well. :)Hi Akemi, Two questions: 1) Is there a step by step documentation on rebuilding the centosplus kernels that includes what the environment should be.I built all the binaries on RHEL6beta2refresh. Other than that, I hope that the info on how to build cplus 6 kernel is in that bug tracker entry.2) Is it possible to get upstream patches from newer kernels included or must on do it themselves. I am specifically interested in the following 2 patches that let linux behave according to Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-09 The current kernel-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6 does not have these patches - which prevents using it as a customer edge router for ipv6.I had a quick look at the patches. The first one seems to be applicable without any modifications. The second one will need an adjustment. Could you file a request at bugs.centos.org ? I can try and build a test cplus kernel with those patches applied. Are you then able to test it to see if the patched version works as expected? Akemi one applied clean the other applied with a fuzz offset of -36 (IIRC). I am installing now to test. My rebuild was simply cp the /boot/config-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.i686 to .config;make oldconfig;make rpm That is why I was asking about the proper way. I have just installed the kernel and will now start testing. --
