Lets try to make one poor-man's .rpm for the kernel. I am following the instructions from KickStart Howto.
------------------------------------------------- Summary: Linux 2.2.5 kernel with serial console Name: linux Version: 2.2.5 Release: 1 Copyright: GPL Group: Beowulf/Node Source: linux.tar.gz %description Kernel for cluster node %post perl -spi -e 's!image=/boot/vmlinuz-.*!image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-node!' /etc/lilo.conf lilo %files /lib/modules/2.2.5 /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-node -------------------------------------------------
# rpm -ba kernel-node.spec
# cp -f /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/linux-2.2.5-1.i386.rpm /home/ftp/pub/linux-2.2.5-1 .i386.rpm
