Those instructions are ancient and outdated. I'd throw them out. Start with a Fedora kernel spec instead, and the Fedora custom kernel docs. > Also, once the build is done, Is it possible to migrate the modules > and the > bzImage's on to other machines without building it on each node > individually? Yes. That's more or less what an rpm (and a deb) does, in a portable format. > Any pointers on how to build an rpm out of a custom kernel? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel Anything there that doesn't make sense, I'd love to hear about it, and can certainly try to provide clarification and any fixes to the spec as necessary. -- Jarod Wilson jarod-ajLrJawYSntWk0Htik3J/w at public.gmane.org
