I saw somewhere that > the rpmbuild command uses the last listing in the rpm -q command?? FWIW, I have rebuilt the RHELv4 kernels using the following procedure. 1. Created a ~/.rpmmacros file with a single entry for %_topdir pointing to a directory in my user space and created the directory structures as in /usr/src/redhat. 2. Installed the most recent kernel src.rpm. (Installs in %_topdir as noted above.) 3. Edit the appropriate config file in SOURCES. In my case it tends to be kernel-2.6.9-i686-smp.config....but I may also edit kernel-2.6.9-i686.config to get the UP rpm. 4. From my ~ directory run "rpmbuild -ba --target i686 ~/$%_topdir/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec Then wait a bit. Assuming my changes to the config files were "appropriate" everything builds and I have the rpm needed.
