I haven't looked, but the appletalk stuff should be in a separate directory ... but it might depend on some other items. What errors are you having for the megaraid driver? Do not use the kernel-sourcecode to get the buildtree ... it doesn't contain arch specific patches and configuration changes. The best way to get a full kernel tree that is fully adjusted for your arch is to download the kernel-xxxxx-src.rpm and install it using: rpm -Uvh kernel-xxxxx.src.rpm then cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS (or another location if you build with another %_topdir in your .rpmmacros) then do rpmbuild -bp --target i686 kernel-2.6.spec (substitute the arch you are concerned about) and then go to cd ../BUILD you should have a kernel directory under there that you can move to /usr/src in the ../SOURCE directory are all the config files for all the other arches .... so you only have to unpack it once. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
