I ran "make rpm".
After much time, the build fails with this:
...

My understanding was making the custom kernel as an rpm allows the Red
Hat upgrade mechanism to continue working, and I thought I'd try that.
Can anyone tell me what to do to make "make rpm" work, or perhaps what I
should be doing instead?
Cheers,
