I believe you want to run:
rpmbuild -ba --target=athlon kernel-2.4.spec

Re: building kernel rpms for athlon
Hi Bret, An alternative approach that worked for me: I've set up an Athlon-based machine (not a laptop) using the Up2date utility. I installed the standard RH CDs and then when up2date ran it automatically detected the new kernel requirements and downloaded them. The machine is running fine. Therefore, I did not need to build the RPMs. Hope that helps.

Re: Warning regarding new kernel RPMs
There is also an extensive Howto on kernel upgrade on the Redhat Site. The update instructions, IMHO, are remiss in not pointing there.

Warning regarding new kernel RPMs
The instructions in RHSA-2000:037-01 (2.2.16 kernel update) tell you: 4. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filename] where filename is the name of the RPM. These instructions are incomplete and may result in a system that is unbootable. After updating the RPM files, you should also: (1) run mkinitrd to create a new initial ramdisk image [this step may not be necessary on some systems] (2) update your lilo.conf file (3) run /sbin/lilo -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

New Kernel RPMS
Morning: Anyone else notice that the i586 and i686 files that are usually included with kernel that Red Hat releases are missing from the latest kernel-2.2.14-12 posted on the errata site? I downloaded the source and did an rpm -ba in the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory, but it still does not build them. Anyone know how to get these, or if Red Hat plans on releasing them? - Mike -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Kernel RPMS
Evening Folks: Anyone know of a good document or reference that talks about the way Red Hat has the kernel RPMS set up? I'm looking for something that explains the purpose of each RPM, and some instructions on how to build the "elusive" kernel-modules rpm. Any insight would be appreciated. - Mike -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Re: kernel rpms
i dont think redhat makes development kernel rpms as they are, well, development kernels and people might see a rev level higher than they currently have, install them, and then cause negative press for redhat. not to mention the fact that userland utils (initscripts for one) need to be upgraded to accomadate the new kernel functionality. -adam On Wed, 5 Jan 2000, jack wallen jr wrote: > anyone know of a location to get an rpm of the 2.3 kernel? > > Jack Wallen, Jr. > Editor in Chief of Linux Content > www.techrepublic.com > > > > -- > To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" > as the Subject. > > -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
