Hi Bret,
I 'll ignore all the other replies on the topic, and address the problem
you asked about in the first place. ;)

What you are trying to do is possible. (and you have done it correctly)
"spec " and "rpm " are valid targets in the kernel Makefile.

RPM auto generates a debug.rpm by default. It 's failing here for some
reason. You can try:

# echo "%debug_package %{nil} " > > ~/.rpmmacros

# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4
# make rpm

(I don 't like building rpms as root, but that 's another rant.)

'make rpm ' is as straightforward as any other method, I suppose.
Others have suggested installing kernel-something.src.rpm. That works as
well, but is a little complicated if you actually want to make a change
to a config file. You have to install the package, generate a config for
your setup, figure out how to force the use of your config file during
the build process...
