Or do I just have to grit my That shouldn't really be an issue for the most part. It would only impact you if you're hitting issues in an area where the config options differ between releases, and those are fairly uncommon. You can try using koji bisect to start with to at least save yourself some time. > teeth and try to get vanilla kernels built and installed? > Other packages I've just dropped the bisected source directly into my > rpmbuild, but guessing it's not going to be quite that simple here. Basically, the best bet is to copy the fedora kernel config into a kernel git tree and just use git bisect, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, make install. If you want to save some build time, trim the config to not include the bajillion modules we ship. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
