And I wish I had full understanding of where this is going. With the new kernels follow the document for building a custom kernel 1. su -c 'yum-builddep kernel-2.6.23-0.171.rc5.git1.fc8.src.rpm' 2. rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.23-0.171.rc5.git1.fc8.src.rpm 3. rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 (or `uname -m`) kernel-2.6.23-0.171.rc5.git1.fc8.src.rpm go to source tree 4. cd /home/gjohnson/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.22/linux-2.6.22.i686/configs 5. head the config file [gjohnson@localhost configs]$ head kernel-2.6.23-i686-PAE.config # i386 <------------------ (Here's the issue) # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # Linux kernel version: 2.6.23-rc5-git1 # Tue Sep 11 13:31:28 2007 # CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME=y CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE=y CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG=y [gjohnson@localhost configs]$ So even though you are building with an i686 target the kernel seems to think it's still an i386 kernel. Not sure how to ask the question because I don't know what's going on Christopher Brown-10 wrote: > > On 11/09/2007, Robert P. J.
