It's actually coming from the default dist tag (in the /etc/rpm/macros.dist) : %dist .el7.centos So when you build with mock , you can define yourself a specific dist tag with "--define 'dist .el7' " > > Second observation , a one that is a bit of a concern is that , after > installing the new kernel I am missing bits : > <snip> > > So my question is how do I go from these 2 files above , to the > situation where I can boot into the new kernel > 4.4.2-300.LR1.el7.centos.armv7hl . Well, still something we need to find a workaround for , and I wrote initially a mail for the newer kernels to be tested : https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2016-January/001597.html (see the part about generating initramfs with dracut and then editing /boot/extlinux.conf) > > Best Regards > Milorad > > PS Once I have verified that the switch driver works , I will post it here . > Cool. I have also already rebuilt it (kernel-4.4.2-300.el7.armv7hl.rpm) Are the patches under GPL licenses and somewhere to be seen ? If you have to patch the Fedora kernel, that means that even Fedora doesn't have it at the moment, so wondering why. Thanks a lot for having a look at this !
