Hi!

I made new kernel by myself with these instructions:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel

everything went ok, but i cant install it, command:

Code:

rpm -ivh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/kernel-devel-2.6.27.5-117.mojkernel.fc10.i686.rpm

gives me that error:

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:
	kernel-firmware >= 2.6.27.5-117.mojkernel.fc10 is needed by kernel-2.6.27.5-117.mojkernel.fc10.i686

btw:

Code:

yum install kernel-firmware
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Package kernel-firmware-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.noarch already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

what i should do?

I'm having the exact same problem. I compiled a kernel successfully then went back and changed some things around and now I'm where you are.

Alright I found a link to a page that gave me some clues.
http://osdir.com/mllinux.redhat.fedo.../msg00089.html
The only real clue that it gave me pretained to my SPEC file. So I'm going to modify the lines that say

Quote:

# kernel-firmware
%define with_firmware %{?_with_firmware: 1} %{?!_with_firmware: 0}
-----------to look like this-------------------
%define with_firmware %{?_with_firmware: 0} %{?!_with_firmware: 1}

and

Quote:

%define with_firmware %{?_without_firmware: 0} %{?!_without_firmware: 1}
-----------to look like this-------------------
%define with_firmware %{?_without_firmware: 1} %{?!_without_firmware: 0}

and see if that works.

Hello:
Modifying the kernel.spec file as you outlined above

PHP Code:


			
# kernel-firmware

%define with_firmware  %{?_with_firmware:  0} %{?!_with_firmware:  1}

should cause the matching kernel-firmware rpm to be built at the same time. Then you can install both at the same time.
