All you have to do is the sources extracted and patched via the prep option of rpmbuild (i.e. -bp) and then make copies of the files you change with a consistent extensioin and then use gendiff. So if you consistent extension for your backups of the originals was .orig, you would type: gendiff $kernel_dir .orig > your.patch And your done generating the patch.
