I'm very confused on the right step to use to setup a modified kernel in
centOS6.
As a simple user, I've downloaded the latests sources (I'm runing an old
kernel version) :
rpm -i
http://vault.centos.org/6.7/updates/Source/SPackages/kernel-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.src.rpm
in the spec file ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec I've set:
%define buildid .numa
Now I want to set *CONFIG_NUMA_EMU=y*
before runing:
rpmbuild -bb --without xen --without debug --without debuginfo
--target=x86_64 ./SPECS/kernel.spec
But where shoud I set this CONFIG_NUMA_EMU option ?
I've tested several config files where this options was specified (using
grep as a last solution) but each build reset my choice and it is not
available in the final kernel.
And google is a little bit confusing for me with many and many diverging
informations.
Thank to kernel gourous for their advices.

I recommend you follows the instructions in this CentOS wiki article:
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel
If you encounter any issue, please let us know here.

Thanks for answering Akemi . Indeed I tried using this howto before posting but
something is wrong in this tutorial.
I installed the prerequisites and downloaded the kernel sources as detailed in
section 2 of https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source.
But on https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, section 2, all goes wrong!
My ~/rpmbuild/BUILD directory is empty!
No configs directory too.
No ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-*/linux-*/ available, all configs files are in
~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
Since this I try to modify ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-x86-generic because it was
the only file containing the CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA flag. No success, the build does
not take account of my changes as the
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6/linux-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.numa.x86_64/.config
created file with:
rpmbuild -bb --without xen --without debug --without debuginfo --target=x86_64
./SPECS/kernel.spec
says "# CONFIG_NUMA_EMU is not set"
So I change this file with an editor and rebuild the rpm package of the kernel
with the same command. The .config file is overwriten.
Today I've founded the "Howto Rebuild Centos 6.0 Linux Kernel" page of Vaidas
Jablonskis
(https://jablonskis.org/2011/howto-rebuild-centos-6-0-linux-kernel/index.html)
rpm -i
http://vault.centos.org/6.7/updates/Source/SPackages/kernel-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.src.rpm
edit ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec to set the buildid
rpmbuild -bp ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec
cd
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6/linux-2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.numa.x86_64/
edit .config or make menuconfig to set CONFIG_NUMA_EMU=y
make rpm
But compilation fails with
arch/x86/mm/srat_64.c: In function 'acpi_fake_nodes':
arch/x86/mm/srat_64.c:469: error: implicit declaration of function
'__acpi_map_pxm_to_node'
An error i've met some years ago and the only work arround found was to use an
older kernel source package.
