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

rpmbuild  -bb --target=`uname -m`  --without kabichk --with baseonly --without debug \
    --without debuginfo kernel-2.6.spec.  

I had modified the .SPEC file according to the WIKI page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

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.”  

I am relatively new to CentOS / RedHat, but I do have a significant amount of Linux experience building kernels.   

I am now trying to see if I can get the kernel to build with kabi in place.   

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.  TIA.
