Non Modular Kernel RPM

[DigiCrime]

Hi

Trying to build a new kernel but all the stuff I need is built in, no modules.. I forgot how to make an RPM out of it... when I do a make rpm it goes thru the entire process but at the end it errors


Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.67514
+ umask 022
+ cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
+ cd kernel-2.6.17.5

+ INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/var/tmp/kernel-2.6.17.5-root
+ make modules_install

The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.
Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.
Then build a kernel with module support enabled.

Looks like you need to remove the make modules_install line from the spec file.

[DigiCrime]

The spec file is created after I "make rpm" not before, its an option now with the kernel just that im not building a modulated kernel.. so how would I remove it to make an rpm out of it

[Jman]

There's either a .spec file in there somewhere you can edit or the Makefile defines the spec somehow.

I edited the macro file for the make portion so it leaves out that part now I have an RPM made, trouble is I have no way to test it LOL I dont have any spare systems to test at the moment... someone else wants to feel free http://www.stlhosting.com/kernel-2.6.17.5-2.i386.rpm
