Hello List,
I found these wonderful instruction by Alan Bartlett (thanks Alan) for building a kernel.org kernel that would install on CentOS 5.5. Doing this and moving the resulting .rpm to the target system and doing a rpm -ivh ... works great.
Now I am trying to use the same rpm as part of a CentOS respin and the installation fails miserably leaving me with a unbootable system.
Using the rescue option I see the following in my install log.
Installing kernel-2.6.32.23-1.i386 /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.24949: line 1: uname: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.24949: line 1: uname: command not found /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.24949: line 1: [: too many arguments /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.24949: line 6: /sbin/new-kernel-pkg: No such file or directory error: %post(kernel-2.6.32.23-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 127
Does someone have instructions for building a kernel.org kernel that will install like the standard CentOS kernels?
Thanks,

The error messages don't seem to be "kernel related errors"... the script needs uname but cannot find it...

Thanks,
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...

Thanks JD,
I have looked at that page. It was my impression it was for building a kernel based on the released CentOS kernel for 5.x, 2.6.18... not for building a kernel from kernel.org such as 2.6.32-23 which is what I want.
