Hrmm, I did this here, just to verify that it worked. The package built
without any problems. What I did:
make mrproper
cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config .config
make dep
make rpm
This built the following package:
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-2.4.209custom-1.i386.rpm
However, a few things of note with this method...
The file name would indicate an i386 kernel. This is misleading, as the
kernel is for an i686.
Also, while a usable package is created, it lacks a few features that
would be available if it were built from the Red Hat kernel*.src.rpm
# rpm -qp /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-2.4.209custom-1.i386.rpm
- --scripts
#
No pre or post install scripts are included. This mean the package would
need to be manually configured. (create initrd.img, add to boot loader,
etc.)
Compare to a stock Red Hat kernel package:
$ rpm -qp --scripts
~/devel/dist-9/updated/athlon/kernel-2.4.20-9.athlon.rpm
preinstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh):
/sbin/modprobe loop 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || :
exit 0
postinstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh):
cd /boot
ln -sf vmlinuz-2.4.20-9 vmlinuz
ln -sf System.map-2.4.20-9 System.map
ln -sf module-info-2.4.20-9 module-info
[ -x /usr/sbin/module_upgrade ] && /usr/sbin/module_upgrade
[ -x /sbin/mkkerneldoth ] && /sbin/mkkerneldoth
if [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] ; then
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.4.20-9
fi
preuninstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh):
/sbin/modprobe loop 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || :
#rm -f /lib/modules/2.4.20-9/modules.*
if [ -x /sbin/new-kernel-pkg ] ; then
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --rminitrd --rmmoddep --remove 2.4.20-9
fi
