The convention method for configuring, compiling and installing a kernel I
am very clear on but why cannot find any documents on how to compile it
using "make rpm" or recompile or "rpmbuild -bb"
I have searched the bookstores, www.redhat.com, www.tldp, most newgroups and
almost every single search result from www.google.com/linux.
Conventional Method:
tar -zxvf kernel.xx or rpm -ivh kernel-source.i386.rpm
ln -s kernel.xx linux
make clean
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
mkinitrd
RPM METHOD:
tar -zxvf kernel.xx or rpm -ivh kernel-source.i386.rpm
ln -s kernel.xx linux # I think this step may be need if you have a rpm
kernel source!!
make clean
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make rpm
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/kernel-xx.i386.rpm
mkinitrd
Just currious as to why I cannot find something as simple as that for "make
rpm"
Still trying to figure out how to use "rpmbuild -bb"
