Hi, Firstly I would like to say thanks for a realy nice howto. I have a small problem when I try to build a kernel for s specific arch. Using the first method (rpm) I try to do a Code: rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec And it say that it is setting everthing to i686. But when I do a Code: make rpm I get told that it is building for i386. I have changed the Processor type to Pentium M but even if I leave it at the default Pentium Pro it still build for i386 What am I doing wrong? I have also tried to build the second way and if I do a Code: make ARCH=i686 all I get told that there is no Makefile for the arch. So Iook in the /usr/src/linux/arch and there is only a i386 and no i686 folder in there. So my Question is how do I build for a i686 arch? I have a IBM T41 and it has a Pentium M @ 1.6GHz. So it should work should it not? Please help. Thanks
I have the same problem when building a rpm file of 2.6.22.2 kernel. When the rpm file is built, it could only be found in the folder /usr/src/RPMS/i368, but it is supposed to be in the ..../i686 folder.
Yes that is exactly what happens with my build aswell...if I install the kernel and do a Code: uname -a I get the following: Code: 2.6.22.1_Custom #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 3 10:40:48 CEST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Note the i686 twice...not sure why there are three archs listed... I get the same from the stock kernel Seems to me that it is building correctly or not? Anyone? please
