Read the release notes.
$@&!, i read them and missed it 3 times (my fault)... I'm
used to building released sources from kernel.org, never the RPM.
1. The specified filename in the release notes is incorrect
( kernel.spec --> kernel-2.6.spec )
2. There needs to be a hint of supported arch's in the release
notes.
3. supplying a value of 'all_x86', (which i had to guess at by
reviewing the specs file), assuming it was the lowest-common
denominator for x86 tree failed. 'i686' seems to work.
4. placing the kernel tree in a non-standard location will cause
some apps to not compile, why isn't it moved to /usr/src/ ?
5. kernel version is 2.6.9-prep, not 2.6.9-1.649. is this right?
