Back
I 'm trying to figure out how to build custom kernel rpm (we wanted to
change the file descriptor limit within the kernel.)
The process I am using, at the moment, is to:
1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. link a config file
3. make menuconfig, and change config options
4. edit Makefile, and change the EXTRAVERSION macro value
5. make rpm
Any help/input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Aaron Neerenberg
The tail section of my build log follows:
The problem I encounter, however, happens after the kernel compilation
step, as follows:
