The x86_64 also had a requirement for the unifdef package. Did you get it to build with kabichk turned off? I had gotten older packages to build as below, but 128.1.6 was giving errors. I can get the kernel to build with kabichk turned on with no real problems. Also here are the kernel packages I have installed (plus the source of course.....) rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-2.6.18-92.el5 kernel-devel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel-headers-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5SCST - This was the one that I built and it worked > >> I have NOT installed any patches that will break KABI, but I am wanting to >> patch the kernel for SCST, and that will do it.
