Hi:
I have Meego 1.1 on a netbook and with kernel 2.6.35.3.10.3-netbook.
I need to re-compile the kernel to turn on deadline IO. Via zypper, I
installed kernel-netbook and kernel-netbook-devel. kernel-headers are
already installed.
No, you need to:
$ sudo zypper si kernel-netbook
Then the .src.rpm will be in $HOME/rpmbuild/SRPMS/
To unpack the .src.rpm to a folder so that you can change
the config, you'll need to do something like:
$ mkdir sandbox/
$ cd sandbox/
$ rpm2cpio /path/to/kernel.src.rpm | cpio -id --no-absolute-filenames
This will unpack all the patches, .spec files, and tarballs
into the current directory.
From here, what you want to do depends on whether or not you
want to package your work. My suggestion is to:
1. Unpack the tarball.
2. Patch the tarball using quilt
3. Borrow the config file from a kernel that's close.
4. make menuconfig
5. make && make modules_install && make install
6. If !satisfied GOTO 4
After that, you can worry about creating an RPM.
