FWIW, I have rebuilt the RHELv4 kernels using the following procedure.
1. Created a ~/.rpmmacros file with a single entry for %_topdir pointing to
a directory in my user space and created the directory structures as in
/usr/src/redhat.
2. Installed the most recent kernel src.rpm. (Installs in %_topdir as
noted above.)
3. Edit the appropriate config file in SOURCES. In my case it tends to be
kernel-2.6.9-i686-smp.config....but I may also edit kernel-2.6.9-i686.config
to get the UP rpm.
4. From my ~ directory run "rpmbuild -ba --target i686
~/$%_topdir/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
Then wait a bit. Assuming my changes to the config files were "appropriate"
everything builds and I have the rpm needed.
Regards,
Ed
