I have a plain vanilla Centos source (not 100% sure where we got it
from), but I can't seem to get a build that installs correctly.
I tried the method described at
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, but rpm doesn't like the
output file, and even if I install it with -F, nothing seems to happen -
no new kernel, now initrd, nothing.
My 30-second glance at it suggests it's not very good; the prep stage is
quite wrong. For example, kernel-devel is a part of the output of the
build process. You cannot install it before you have built your kernel.
I suggest you start with the src.rpm.
rpm -i ...
rpmbuild -bp ... <wherevr the spec went>
Install whatever is says you need:-)
Here is a script that works for _at least some_ RHEL4 & FC3 kernels. I
suggest you read it, understand it and adapt it to what you want. Then,
maybe fix that wiki.
#!/bin/bash
set -xe
rpmbuild=rpmbuild\ --define\ "_topdir${HOME}/redhat"
rpm=rpm\ --define\ "_topdir${HOME}/redhat"
if [ -n "$1" ] ; then
K=$1
else
K=$(dir -d1rt ~/Fedora/kernel*src.rpm
~/RH/FC3/updates/SRPMS/kernel*src.rpm | tail -1)
fi
DirName=$(rpm -qp --qf '%{name}-%{version}\n' ${K})
${rpm} -i ${K}
date=$(date "+%a %b %d %Y")

In my case, I'm building a brace of kernels with NTFS support. the
resultant kernals install on nahant/FC3 just fine.
