I realize that uname is missing as well as /sbin/new-kernel-pkg. That is why I was asking if someone has a "recipe" for building a kernel from "kernel.org" that will install correctly from a respin.
You need mkinitrd and coreutils packages... Not sure at which step it fails since you did not give details. Anyway, google says: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel Hope this helps...
