• rpmbuild with distribution prefix (unconfirm)
  • rpmbuild -ba item.spec --define "dist .fc5"
  • This only works if "Release:" field has %{?dist} at the end
  • To automate for the whole system, can add to /etc/rpm/macros: %dist .fc5, then no need to use --define at each build
• rpmbuild specify platform
  • rpmbuild -ba item.spec --target i686
• sky2 driver status
  • FC5 kernel 2.6.20: v1.10
  • Fedora 7 kernel 2.6.21: v1.14
  • Vanilla kernel 2.6.22.1: v1.14
• Realtek 8111B Gigabit (r8169) driver status
  • FC5 kernel 2.6.20: 2.2LK, supported (1. driver is modified, not same as 2.6.18, 2. tested at Gigabyte G33 motherboard GA-G33-DS3R)
  • OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18: 2.2K, not support
• Building Kernel
  • Build time
    • OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1, 46min,
  • Support status for ICH9 in Intel P35/G33 chipset
    • In FC7's 2.6.21, AHCI 2.1, has ICH9 support
    • In FC5's 2.6.20, AHCI 2.0, has ICH9 support
    • OpenVZ kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1, AHCI 2.0, but only has ICH8's device id. But tested can use with ICH9R. (on Gigabyte GA-G33-DS3R)

    • Building a Kernel from the src RPM
    • Tips on building kernel
      For Fedora 7 kernel, Add: "%define _enable_debug_packages 0" under "%if %{with_baseonly}" section
    • Build kernel & kernel-devel only, use:
      rpmbuild -ba --with baseonly --without debuginfo --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
    • Build smp kernel & kernel-devel only, use:
      rpmbuild -ba --with smponly --without debuginfo --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
    • Build time with default (rpmbuild -ba --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec): 5.5h, also it could fail
      ~5-5.5h on Athlon64 X2 3800+, 2CPU, 256M RAM, avg 60% CPU in VMware 6
    • Debug RPMs used 188.1M + 29.7M, core kernel RPMs just 16.6M + 5M, on Fedora 7 2.6.21-1.3228 base kernel
      ~1.25h built on Athlon64 X2 3800+, 2CPU, 256M RAM, avg 60% CPU in VMware 6
      ~1h without debug info (_enable_debug_packages 0)
    • Solution to: modsign.sh: line 47: "segmentation fault"
      disable signmodules in SPEC file (%define with_modsign 0)
