We have to rebuild our kernel to add support for a Mainpine fax board on a CentOS 5.5 board:

http://www.hylafax.org/content/Handbook:Basic_Server_Configuration:Modem-spe...

We followed all steps, but when calling rpmbuild, we are getting:

[root@hylafax SPECS]# rpmbuild -ba --target x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec   Construction pour plate-formes cibles: x86_64   Construction pour cible x86_64   erreur: Fichier /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type So it doesn't find linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2

We do have both the kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages installed, so I don't understand why that file is missing. Googling for "linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2 is missing" didn't bring any useful info. So where/how can we rebuild or get that archive?

it is inside the kernel source .src.rpm package .. that one that you downloaded and installed?

Hum, right... Nothing to see here... This is what happen when a coworker told you that he did all the steps and you trust his words

You are building as root. This is a bad practice. When building a CentOS custom kernel, please try following the instructions in:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

I suggest to use mock for building CentOS/RHEL or fedora packages.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock

For example:

mock -r epel-5-x86_64 --rebuild kernel.src.rpm
