Hi, I'm using the procedure described in building customer kenrels centOS5.0. Except for one step where spec file to comment 25 lines from 638, I did every thing. I got rpm files in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS. After installing kernel-firmeware, kernel, kernel-headers, kernel-devel packages it creates OS entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst following "defaults 0" directive. After reboot: 1. Grub is not showing up new kernel in grub menu 2. Manually removing old kernel title in menu.lst, won't booting new kernel. kernel: 2.6.32.71.el6.x86_64. Are there any issues? thanks and regards, Viswa
