Hi, This sounds like a really weird question, but for some reason I'm having unable to build a i386 kernel from the 2.4.18 src rpm from the sources cd (and the website as well). Doing the usual: rpmbuild --ba --target i386 kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm only builds: i386/kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm i386/kernel-doc-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm i386/kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm I've added enabled some extra options, redone all the configs and amended some info the the kernel name (as per spec file) and put them back into the SOURCES directory, so it will build a new rpm of the kernel. yet the first few lines when building the rpm states its building for i386, I've also tried it without as well and the same files are built. I'm going to try for a i686 and see what happens. Have RH changed anything at all, but looking at the spec file, It looks ok.
