If I understand what you are doing correctly, you are wiping out all your
changes when you run the above command. The first thing rpmbuild --ba
- --target i386 kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm does is install the
kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm (probably over all your changes.)
Try install ing the .src.rpm, make your changes in the SOURCES directory,
and then run
rpmbuild -ba --{your options} /path/to/SOURCES/kernel-2.4.spec
Note that the kernel spec file defines --with/--without options to
determine what gets built.
