<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I’m trying to build a 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel without kabichk. I have downloaded the sources, installed the compiler, etc and ran the following command<BR>
<BR>
rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --without kabichk --with baseonly --without debug \<BR>
--without debuginfo kernel-2.6.spec. <BR>
<BR>
I had modified the .SPEC file according to the WIKI page <a href="http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel">http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel</a><BR>
<BR>
I have NOT installed any patches that will break KABI, but I am wanting to patch the kernel for SCST, and that will do it. Currently, I’m just trying to get the beast to build. I have been successful getting this to work on older versions like 2.6.18-92.1.22, but I have not had success with –128.1.6. l. I have not worried about build errors at this point, because I’m hoping someone can say, “Just do this, and all will be well.” <BR>
<BR>
I am relatively new to CentOS / RedHat, but I do have a significant amount of Linux experience building kernels. <BR>
<BR>
I am now trying to see if I can get the kernel to build with kabi in place. <BR>
<BR>
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. TIA. <BR>
