[ATrpms-users] HowTo modify/recompile an atrpms FC3 kernel

[Thomas Börkel]

HI!

What is the recommended way to modify (change some config option, 
recompile and install) an atrpms kernel on FC3?

Goal:
After installing (by "make install" or "make rpm" and "rpm --upgrade"), 
it should look like the same atrpms kernel, making it possible to still 
use atrpms kernel modules of that kernel.

I have done this so far:

# apt-get source kernel=2.6.10-1.766_FC3
# rpmbuild -bp --target=noarch  /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
# cd /usr/src
# ln -s redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/ linux
# ln -s redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/ linux-2.6.10
# make mrproper
# copy /boot/config-2.6.10-1.766_FC3 .config
Edit .config to my wishes.
Edit Makefile and set EXTRAVERSION to "-1.766_FC3"
# make oldconfig
# make

This works. But this does not:

1.
After "make install", I get the 3 kernel files in /boot, but the kernel 
does not boot because of insmod errors.

2.
make rpm does not work:
# make rpm
make clean
set -e; cd ..; ln -sf /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10 
kernel-2.6.101.766_FC3
set -e; cd ..; tar -cz -f kernel-2.6.101.766_FC3.tar.gz 
kernel-2.6.101.766_FC3/.
set -e; cd ..; rm kernel-2.6.101.766_FC3
set -e; \
/bin/sh 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/scripts/mkversion > 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/.tmp_version
set -e; \
mv -f /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/.tmp_version 
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/.version
rpmbuild --target i386 -ta ../kernel-2.6.101.766_FC3.tar.gz

I do not kow, why it writes 2.6.101 instead of 2.6.10...


Any hints/tipps are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
