Hello,
I'm recompiling the latest kernel on Fedora Core 3. I'm following a
walkthru at
http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Rec...re_kernel.html
because I'm not familiar with the Fedora filesystem heirarchy (and
rusty with my linux skills in general).
Everything went well until step 3. I cd'd into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
and executed the command "sudo rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m`
kernel-2.6.spec". It burped up alot of errors which you'll see at the
bottom. I don't understand what the errors mean and how to fix it so
that I can "explode" the source tree (as it says).

Can anyone help me resolve this problem so I can reconfigure the
kernel?

Thanks and have a nice weekend everyone.
Jason

Try typing the command 'uname -m' without the quotes first, then
substitute the results into the command, example below;

$ uname -m
i686

$ sudo rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec

Step 7 from you link should be;

sudo make ;(combines both makes into one)
sudo make modules_install
sudo make install
sudo make rpm ;(creates a binary rpm of your work)

You should also review;
