How to make Con's kernel
Hi everyone! My "problem" is this, I have volunteered make con's kernel rpm for opensuse. I would like to know: - how to make the rpm, it's enough to apply the patch, and type make rpms in opensuse kernel dir? - how to make the srpm - how to know when new kernel are made - is there a place to put the rpm? I would like to have only one installation to make x86, x86_64 for stable and non stable version of opensuse. Suggestion on how to set up the installation? Of course I would appreciate a detailed step by step tutorial..... or a lot of least some pointer to documentation :)) Many, thanks.

I take it from your questions that you have no experience with RPM, neither with building kernels. You want to read: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ Then try to create your first RPM from a very simple small project. Something like http://abook.sourceforge.net/ once you have a working RPM of, for instance, abook you might want to spend some days on reading and understanding other RPM specfiles. When you are familiar with RPM you should look into the Kernel README (/usr/src/linux/README). That explains how to build the kernel. If you fully understand what you must do you want to read http://www.suse.de/~agruen/kernel-doc/ which combines both topics, RPMs and kernels in SUSE Linux. Dont, i repeat, dont start with the kernel as your first package. Its way to complex. Start with small projects and take small steps. A beginner mountaineer does not climb the mount everest first!

Speaking of kernels, will kernel 2.6.16 operate with the udev 068 that
shipped with suse 10.0?
