[CentOS] Error on compiling kernel :: CentOS 4

[Barry Brimer]

Try this:

1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL/
2. make menuconfig (and configure your kernel)
3. make clean
4. make rpm (Builds RPM & SRPM)
5. rpm -ivh
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch>/kernel-<version>-<extraversion>-1.<arch>.rpm
6. edit /etc/grub.conf if needed.

I have recompiled the CentOS 4 kernel (as an rpm) with Appletalk support and it
works fine with netatalk 2.0.2.  If you would like an RPM or SRPM of either the
kernel or netatalk, just let me know.

Hope this helps,
Barry
