Obtain the kernel-$(uname -r).src.rpm file from one of the following sources: The SRPMS directory on the appropriate “SRPMS” CD iso image By running the following command: up2date –get-source kernel Install kernel-$(uname -r).src.rpm rpm -Uvh /var/spool/up2date/kernel-$(uname -r).src.rpm (if kernel.src.rpm is gained by up2date) Change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ (sample varialble please) rpmbuild -bp –target=$(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec (sample varialble please) hi
