The RHEL 4 Distribution does not install sources under /usr/src/linux-2.6. We need to build the source rpm to get the sources. Install kernel-<version>.src.rpm (given the default RPM configuration, the files this package contains will be written to /usr/src/redhat/) Change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/, and issue the following command: rpmbuild -bp --target=<arch> kernel.spec (Where <arch> is the desired target architecture.) On a default RPM configuration, the kernel tree will be located in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/. In resulting tree, the configurations for the specific kernels shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.95 are in the /configs/ directory. For example, the i686 SMP configuration file is named /configs/kernel-<version>-i686-smp.config. Issue the following command to place the desired configuration file in the proper place for building: cp <desired-file> ./.config Issue the following command: make oldconfig thanks, murthy. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dave Francis Sent: Monday, May 09, 2005 10:08 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: EL4 ES kernel recompile Hi Guys Im trying to recompile the kernel in EL4 ES in order to get the clock running correctly under VMware ESX.
