Hi Johnny,

How did you install the kernel-source ... the proper way is:

yum install kernel-sourcecode

That's what i have.

The you would be in the directory:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL

That's where i am.

Regards, Mário Gamito

Mario,

I believe you are in the wrong directory. According to the output below, your directory prompt reads :

[root@tux 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL-i686]

This suggests that you are in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.0.3.EL-i686 not /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL

Try this:

1. cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL 2. cp configs/kernel-2.6.9-i686.config . 3. make menuconfig (configure kernel) 4. make clean 5. make rpm 6. install RPM 7. edit grub config if needed

Hope this helps, Barry

IMHO here the right command is: 2. cp configs/kernel-2.6.9-i686.config .config

Nice community, this one :)

Absolutely correct .. I apologize for the mistake. The correction noted by Romeo is quite important. The correct command should be:

2. cp configs/kernel-2.6.9-i686.config .config

Good catch!

Rebuilding the whole kernel is kinda extreme .... I modified the build-2.6 script and spec file from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/build.html to built a NCPFS kernel module for the kernel I have installed and make a nice RPM that behaves nicely.

Now all I need to do is figure out a way to have it automatically generated whenever a new kernel and kernel-source package is released.

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch>/kernel-<version>-<extraversion>-1.<arch>.rpm 6. edit /etc/grub.conf if needed.

I have recompiled the CentOS 4 kernel (as an rpm) with Appletalk support and it works fine with netatalk 2.0.2. If you would like an RPM or SRPM of either the kernel or netatalk, just let me know.

Hope this helps, Barry

Hi,

I'm trying to recompile CentOS stock kernel, and after making my choices (make menuconfig), i run "make" and imediatly get this error (after my signature).

Yes, i have the kernel source installed :P

Any help would be apreciated.

Warm regards, Mário Gamito

Hi Paul, # and finally, not mentioned here before in any post (as far as i can remember), make the respective initrd for the new kernel in /boot

As I remember the above is need only if You use SCSI (or/and maybe SATA) drivers, not integrated in kernel, but maked as modules BTW: command is mkinitrd :-)

Everything's allright now. Thanks to everyone who contributed with their sugestions, helping me and others in the future that may come across the same issue.
