Hi Guys
I'm trying to add the patch mentioned in this thread to the plain Centos kernel
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-August/062845.html
I've followed the directions on the wiki for building a custom kernel, but after applying all the patches it fails with:
make[1]: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 4 make: *** [nonint_oldconfig] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.74263 (%prep)
RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.74263 (%prep)
Just to follow up on this, the patch meant nonint_oldconfig was expecting some more config options in the .config.
I had to add:
CONFIG_PATA_ISAPNP=n CONFIG_PATA_LEGACY=n CONFIG_PATA_QDI=n CONFIG_PATA_WINBOND_VLB=n
to the base and PAE configs, and then the build continued. No idea if putting n was the right option, but I'm sure i'll find out when I run the kernel..
Hmm, that is odd. If you copy the config file from configs/ directory, make nonint_oldconfig should run without any needing for edit.
