I am trying to make make a kernel from the stock RHEL4 sources. I do not want to download vanilla sources and "roll-my-own" kernel. I am trying modify the kernel sources (time synch issues) as to work as a vmware guest OS. I have gotten it to work with vanilla sources but I would like to stick with stock kernels. I have downloaded the kernel-2.6*.src.rpm hoping this is the right place to start. I have tried using 'rpmbuild --recompile --target=i686 *.src.rpm' but I believe this will just render an RPM of the kernel. This will not allow me to modify the sources before making the kernel. I have found directions for rebuilding the entire distro and remaking the install CDs, but I just want to compile a stock kernel making very few modifications to the kernel sources. I know the answer does not lie within the kernel-devel packages as those just contain the kernel header files. I need the actual kernel sources for the stock kernel (with its patches), and not the vanilla sources. Does anyone have a link to a How-To for this procedure?
