Hi Murthy
Thanks heaps for that. I tried the rpmbuild of the kernel like you said, but
that failed. (output below).
The question is do I have to be more specific in my rpmbuild command,
because of the other kernels that are installed?
The kernel I am running is the kernel-2.6.9-5.0.5.EL. I saw somewhere that
the rpmbuild command uses the last listing in the rpm -q command??

Heres what happened when I tried to build...

Subject: RE: EL4 ES kernel recompile
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.

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.
As Redhat dont provide much info on the process for this under EL4, ive
kinda worked blind up to here, and now Im stuck.
Fresh build.
First, ive updated (up2date). (inc Kernel).
Next I installed the kernel source through up2date.
Then I tried a make mrproper, and thats where Im stuck.

Has anybody got any ideas about what Im doing wrong?
All help appreciated.
