Please don't top post in mailing list replies. It's not considered "proper" behavior.
not a school project, a machine is having intermittent crashes, and i want to know more detailed information.. so i need to have a debug kernel in order to keep testing.
What are you calling a debug kernel? There seems to be a miscommunication or trouble getting the idea of what you're trying to do across?
the issue with the kernel-debuginfo, is that it appears to essentially be the OS with the debug/symbolic information. you apparently don't actually run the rpm/app after it's installed.. but it gives the 'crash' app the ability to match/resolve symbolic information in the event of a crash/hang within the OS....
How does this differ from your 'debug kernel'?
you supplied me with info that i had eventually found after hours of searching... i had created debug kernel scenarios years ago, but needed to be sure things hadn't changed...
I'm still unclear how this relates to the original post of rebuilding the CentOS distribution, and to some extent I don't overly follow how changing to a kernel of your own creation will help you troubleshoot a crash you think is related to the provided kernel. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
