I tried a rpmbuild command like that in several different ways when trying to get it to build kernel.rpm for i386, never seemed to work, I had to edit the SPEC file to force it to build for i386. I also had to add -bb to the command line. But I'll see if rebuilding for athlon works, which I haven't trid yet. I didn't think athlon would work for a K6 III. Looking at SPEC, it appears all I will need to run is "rpmbuild --target athlon --rebuild kernel-XXX.src.rpm", doing that now.
