The following issue can be reproduced with Linus' tree. --- snip + cp /home/user/rpmbuild-test/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.9.2.x86_64/boot/vmlinuz-3.9.2 cp: missing destination file operand after `/home/user/rpmbuild-test/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.9.2-1.x86_64/boot/vmlinuz-3.9.2' Try `cp --help' for more information. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.R4o0iI (%install) make defconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig' # # configuration written to .config # make rpm-pkg Use the resulting src rpm to build as follows: mkdir ~/rpmbuild-test cd ~/rpmbuild-test rpmbuild --rebuild --define "_topdir `pwd`" -vv ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/kernel-3.10.0_rc1+-1.src.rpm The following error occurs: + cp /home/user/rpmbuild-test/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.9.2.x86_64/boot/vmlinuz-3.9.2 cp: missing destination file operand after `/home/user/rpmbuild-test/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.9.2-1.x86_64/boot/vmlinuz-3.9.2' Try `cp --help' for more information. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.R4o0iI (%install) --- snip The issue is because the %install script uses $KBUILD_IMAGE and it hasn't been set. echo 'cp $KBUILD_IMAGE $RPM_BUILD_ROOT'"/boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE" It probably isn't as simple as allowing it to come from the environment, since it might be architecture specific. This patch changes the manual install code to user the kernel's make install with an INSTALL_PATH override. installkernel with then install the files into $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/boot.
