Hi guys. Recently, I've installed SL on a Asus R401V. Works fine, except because this laptop comes with keyboard backlight and several special function keys. Reading some forums and pages, I need to load asus_wmi module. Problem is, I cannot find this module into oficial repositories (and I would'nt use other). Therefore, easiest way is to compile a new kernel.
At this point, I tried with latest kernel version (3.10.9 at this moment). Compiling kernel is'nt too hard. But, using "make rpm" created 2 RPM's: Kernel itself and headers. Ok, I installed these 2 on a Virtual Machine (Of course, I cannot test if my function keys work, but I saw several kernel modules for "Asus" disabled by default). New kernel worked, but I need to make some changes at /boot/grub and generate the initrd and some other files manually). This is my question... Can you recommend me some howto where it explain how to build custom kernel, exporting into a rpm and auto-generate all necesary changes without making them manually?... Like yum, when I install a new kernel, automatically I see a new entry in GRUB.
