My bad - I rechecked and it is the correct source. AND I found that the make install (with make modules_install first) takes care of GRUB for me.

BUT:

Now I can't boot because the installed Centos 4.4 was from the distribution DVD, and it depends on the lvm to load. My build doesn't know about the lvm and it refuses to boot - it dies coming up with an error from lvm, followed by two more where it can't find a file system, then the kernel panics (and hangs the machine).

How do I get around lvm?

Thanks (again).

Thanks - I'm still working on it.

Does anyone know where there is a clean, working source for Centos 2.6.9-42.0.3 (supposedly the 4.4 final)? I'm pretty sure the one I

have

is NOT the right one....

The source tarball should be included in the SRPM for your kernel, I'd imagine.

http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.4/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3. EL.src.rpm

Once installed (if installed as root) it'll be in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, otherwise it'll be in wherever your .rpmmacros file points.
