Here, i have three kernel base on the same kernel source : 2.6.6-1.435 : RH 2.6.6-1.435mat : RH without REGPARAM (bewan driver (binary) don't like this). 2.6.6-1.435matcustom : Custom configuration. Simple, for each kernel configuration i have a different EXTRAVERSION (/usr/src/linux/Makefile). The problem is that kernel.i586 and i686 use the same EXTRAVERSION and share file names. Just add a "magic string" (the arch for example) in EXTRAVERSION for each configuration. That give : /boot/config-2.6.6-1.435-i586 /boot/System.map-2.6.6-1.435-i586 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6-1.435-i586 /boot/initrd-2.6.6-1.435-i586 /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435-i586/* No conflict. With this rule, at least kernel developers (freshrpms, etc) can add a kernel with "rpm -i --nodeps". /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build should be in a -devel package. This save disk space. If Fedora continue to ship kernel-source, add EXTRAVERSION in the directory name. Example : rename /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435custom . /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435custom/build should point to /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435custom and not to /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435 .
