[WBEL-users] kernel-BOOT build issue

[Robert Tomasko]

I am looking for some advise for a problem I am having with a boot
kernel I built from the WBEL SRPM kernel-2.4.21-20.EL.src.rpm.

I am using rpmbuild --rebuild kernel-2.4.21-20.EL.src.rpm to create my
binary RPMs, and they seem to build successfully.  However, when I
attempt to boot off of the boot kernel (kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-20.EL) the
system hangs after uncompressing the kernel image.

For kicks, I downloaded the binary RPM
kernel-BOOT-2.4.21-20.EL.i386.rpm and it boots with no problems.  So I
am wondering, is there anything special I need in my build environment
in order to rebuild this SRPM?

FYI, when I attempt this using RHEL SRPMs, I get the same result.
