With FC3 I had to get a specially patched kernel to use ndiswrapper because the kernel stack was 4k and a larger stack size was needed. Downloaded a 16k FC3 kernel from Linuxtant and it worked. I was wondering what size the FC4 kernel stack is because I want to upgrade but Linuxtant hasn't yet provided a FC4 kernel. This modification shouldn't be so hard. I had to do it for an FC3 machine myself. What is more of a concern is that I saw some noise about making 4K stacks only for vanilla kernels. Anyway, 1) Grab the kernel source rpm and install it. 2) Alter the approiate config (eg SOURCE/kernel-2.6.11-i586.config). Find the line "CONFIG_4KSTACKS=y" and change the y to an n. 3) In SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec set the macros to build only what you need. eg. %define buildup 0 %define buildsmp 1 %define includexen 0 %define builddoc 0 4) Build the binary rpm. rpmbuild -bb -target=i686 SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec 5) Install binary package and your done. The --target option seems to be needed these days. I'm not sure why. You can make a source rpm for your kernel with this mod using rpmbuild -bs SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec Well at least this should be close to what you need to do. Oh and clean up using rpmbuild --rmspec --rmsource --clean kernel-2.6.spec Ian -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
