Well I am working on building a kernel that will have the IPsec BEET mode patch available from infrahip.hiit.fi.
I have some decent help, but really no one there is a seasoned Centos kernel builder (though they work with different FC kernels), and now they are mostly done for the day.
I have been following the wiki on building a custom kernel, got my patch in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES and away with the rpmbuild. That failed on line 69:
Unknown tag: % define buildid .hipl0809111
But the comments say to set the define to something like ".local" or ".bz123456"
So why the failure? Too long our are the quotes required?
If this works, I would like to see this patch 'mainstreamed' as it is in the 2.6.27 kernel....

Maybe because there is a space after the "%" and before "define"? Try removing that space and see if that works.
If you are still not doing it, I suggest you follow the steps on this document: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel

oops. I wonder how that space snuck in there....

That is where I got the instructions to uncomment out this line and supply the tag....
thanks!

It comes in the spec file that way. If you use colors and vim, it shows, too.

I use gedit and it has colors, and I did not catch this.
Perhaps gedit does not have as much colors as vim...

Make sure there is NO space between % and define.
