Some time ago someone suggested that we create rpms (or dummy rpms) for locally compiled kernels so that yast update doesn't overwrite the local kernel.
Use "make rpm" instead of "make bzImage modules" to create an RPM of the kernel. But I think it would be easier for you if you used fou4s and use the IgnoreList and RemarkList features (to ignore kernel upates or only notify the user, but don't install them).
When I "make rpm" I get the following error: ... kernel-2.4.2064GBSMP/./.version File /usr/src/kernel-2.4.20.tar.gz: No such file or directory make: *** [rpm] Error 1 It looks like rpm expects the tar file to have a different name: I traced back and found that the rpm build comamnd was as expected: rpm -ta /usr/src/linux-2.4.20.SuSE/../kernel-2.4.2064GBSMP.tar.gz ; \ Any ideas? -- Simon Oliver
