Thanks Ben, I tried the kernel-2.4.spec from the 7.1 release and ran into the following error when I trid "rpm -bl kernel-2.4.spec": error: File /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/linux-2.4.3.tar.bz2: No such file or directory Is there some sort of documentation as what is required to build what the spec file is setup for? I can get the linux-2.4.3.tar.bz2 from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4 which is 20+ MB and would take quit a while with a SLOW internet. I am just afraid this problem is just the tip of the iceberg on what to follow. I have the 2.4.3 kernel source build, is there a short cut to just build the following? > kernel-smp-2.4.3-12.ia64.rpm > kernel-headers-2.4.3-12.ia64.rpm 7.1 is also IA64 which is what I am using.

Hi, Check the SRPM file - when you install the SRPM it puts the SPEC file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ directory. BTW - I thought Red Hat released 7.2 for IA64 machines - so you might want to look at the files there or the updated 2.4.9-13 ones - not sure if they're for IA64 though...
