I think the last time I did it, I got the tarball. I either did an rpmbuild -ta on it, or there was an rpm target in the makefile.
Regardless, I ended up with two RPM's -- a kernel module and the tools. On any systems that had different kernels, I had to recompile to get the kernel module.

I'm going to have to be a little vague on this one, but hope I provide enough to make the question clear. I'm not doing the work on this server, a co-worker is, but I said I would ask for him.
He is trying to get DRBD installed. He's using Centos 5.1 and the yum repos, but is getting problems with things like the kernel, drbd.so, and the likes. All install fine, but I'm not sure he is getting the proper kernel with the drbd stuff. Almost sounds like he needs a dev rpm from somewhere because drbd.so isn't on the machine after installing the RPMs. (Can't do the insmod drbd.so).
Does anyone have a quick and easy(?) step by step to get it installed? He'll figure out the config if he can get it installed properly. Right now, he's running from source OK, but you all know the arguements for source versus rpm.
Thanks for any help. I'll try and get caught up on what he's doing to better answer any questions presented.
