Actually, it *was* an answer, at least of sorts. If you read the .spec file, you'll see that you need to e.g. give --target=noarch to build kernel-sourcecode. It looks to me that the default %buildsource is 0 unless overridden, and that only happens %ifarch noarch. Corrections are welcome. -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE
