Kernel source - linux -2.6.18 i386 or i686

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



As I plow through the Kernel source to figure out why the BEET patch is not working, I notice that there are two similar directories under ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18:

linux-2.16.18.i386 and linux-2.16.18.i686

So which one am I suppose to be patching?

Currently, the patch starts out with:

diff -urN  a/net/ipv4/xfrm4_input.c b/net/ipv4/xfrm4_input.c

I followed the kernel source setup instructions on the wiki:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source

tells me to supply i686 for getting and setting up the source.

But http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

has me setting up a .config file with '# i386' as the first line. Now that is a comment, right? So why add such a comment. Perhaps it is NOT a comment? Shesh...

Anyway, which directory structure gets used in the rpmbuild:

rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel-2.6.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log

Do I add this to the patch?
