Hello list.I'm trying to rebuild the 2.6.9.67.0.20.EL kernel, but it fails even without modifications.How did I try it?

For the curios: Why to recompile the kernel?I want to rebuild the kernel because I created a patch to decrease the kernel timer frequency from 1000 to 100 HZ. The CentOS4.6 kernel doesn't have the divider option available in CentOS5.2 This prevent timing problems and high CPU load in VMware ESX.
OK .. it obviously does rebuild, not sure why it is not building for you.However, you don't need to rebuild this yourself as we are building a kernel-vm that has this as its only change (change the clock from 1000Hz to 100Hz):
