kernel config from /usr/src/linux-<version> and then build a custom
kernel.
I think that's one of the hardest ways possible to do what you want,
and it may very well not work.
1 Install kernel src.rpm
2 run rpmbbuild -bp kernel.spec to get kernel source tree.
3 copy $BUILDSOURCEDIR/linux-config-for-your-arch.config to
$BUILDDIR/.config
4 run make menuconfig (or xconfig or however else you want to do it. )
save config
5 copy config back to where you got it from, with the original name.
6 run rpmbuild -bs kernel.spec
7. rpmbuild --rebuild resulting kernel-src.rpm with --target=arch (i686,
x86_64)
8 install resulting kernel rpms.
rough steps, but that should be pretty much what you need to do.
Thanks for the instructions, although I don't know why that's the information
you are posting. The procedure I'm using works fine. If I turn on support for
HIGHMEM the build works. If HIGHMEM is off, I get the aforementioned error. Do
you have information for me on that issue?
