I looked in the release notes, but maybe I missed it. Is it not possible to build a kernel from CentOS 4.3 (using 2.6.9-34.0.1) with HIGHMEM support turned
off? This is for a machine with 512mb.

When I try to build the kernel, I get _etext undefined symbol on line 100 of
pageattr.c in arch/i386/mm.

What kernel are you trying to build, and how are you trying to build it?

I should probably also throw in a 'why are you building your own
kernel?' too, but we'll save that for a little later.

Everything is from CentOS including the kernel sources. I downloaded the SRPM and modified the spec file to %define buildsource 1 then did an rpmbuild. Then I installed the kernel-sourcecode rpm that it generated. So then I could run the kernel config from /usr/src/linux-<version> and then build a custom kernel.
