Turns out the same problem was reported as early as Feb 2005 on a Fedora list. So this is not something new, nor CentOS specific. Bad news is that I have yet to find an answer for this. The only thing I saw in the search was the same manual editing of .config as we already did as a temporary solution. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2005-05/0405.html I am still trying to figure out why rpmbuild -bp messes up the first line of .config. And of course this problem never surfaces if you run rpmbuild -ba in the beginning because the incorrect version of .config is created but *not* used in this operation. Akemi
