I followed those instructions to the letter. I got an error, but I don't remember what it was -- I've slept <some> since then.
It looked like it was all building nicely (though the build was not one that I've ever seen before), then poof, gone. It was after the command
Code:
rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --with firmware --without debuginfo --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
But, it was getting late on Friday and I left it here over the weekend. I had already thought to do something like what MK had suggested. . . which, BTW compiled at least. Now I just have to see if I get all the modules that were already installed on this puppy.
