Hi, Just a follow up on this. Now I installed the suse kernel-source-2.6.16.21-0.13 rpm. Then I tried to compile the kernel from source and generate an rpm with the "make rpm-pkg" options to make. I manage to build the rpms for the kernel but I get this message towards the end of the build: + cp .config /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-root/boot/config-2.6.16.21-0.13-cc s + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress Processing files: kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1 Finding Provides: /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides kernel /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires.ksyms: line 12: /usr/bin/nm: Argument list too long Finding Requires: /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires kernel Finding Supplements: /usr/lib/rpm/find-supplements kernel error: line 48: Dependency tokens must begin with alpha-numeric, '_' or '/': error: Failed to find Supplements: When I try to install the rpms that the build process generated i get the : ksym(struct_module) = b9ec7d43 is needed by kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1.x86_64 ksym(find_or_create_page) = ba0f64de is needed by kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1.x86_64 ksym(ec_read) = ba2d8594 is needed by kernel-2.6.16.210.13ccs-1.x86_64 ksym(__downgrade_write) = ba3bda2a is is this a bug? nm and rpm seem to have problems with building rpm kernels. Thanks for any help on this.
