However, I was able to reboot with the new kernel but still I can not find o
files for my HDLC in the kernel path under driver/net/wan. I am listing
below the steps that I did to install a new customized kernel starting from
fresh installation of CentOS 4.4 with kernel 2.6.9-42
1- getting the kernel:
1.1 access as root
1.2 yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config
1.3 su user
1.4 cd
1.5 mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
1.6 echo "%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild" > .rpmmacros
1.7 rpm -i
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL.src.rpm
2> /dev/null
1.8 cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
1.9 rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> prep-err.log | tee
prep-out.log
Looks good so far.
These so far sound fine. but then I guess there might be a mistake or
missing step in my procdure to build the new kernel:
2- building a new kernel:
2.1 access as root
2.2 rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> prep-err.log | tee
prep-out.log
The above rpmbuild is not necessary. You have done it correctly in
step 1.9 (as user).
2.3 su user
2.4 cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.`uname -m`
2.5 cp configs/kernel-2.6.18-i686.config .config
2.6 make oldconfig
2.7 make menuconfig {here I left it as is and did not do any modification
since I am planning to include HDLC as a module after build
a complete custom kernel}
I am confused. If you did not make any changes here, why would you
expect your new kernel to provide the HDLC support (see above) ???
2.8 [user@host SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2>
build-err.log | tee build-out.log
Before that step (rpmbuild -bb), you should at least edit the line:
%define buildid .your_identifier
as written in the Wiki tutorial to make your rpm's version different
from the distro's.
2.9 su
2.10/ rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm
and after the last command I have got the conflict warning above. What is
wrong in my installation procedure! :( Please help.

Your "customized" kernel has the same version/revision as the
distro's. So, it won't install unless you force it (not recommended
at all).

Thank you. So if it is not recommended to force it , what should I do to
get it installed ?
