[Lustre-discuss] Rebuilding kernel rpms

[Arne Brutschy]

Hello,

I need PAE-enabled kernels for my cluster. Thus, I would like to rebuild
the kernel packages as provided by lustre for RHEL/CentOS.

I tried to follow the guide on the Lustre wiki [1], which unfortunately
just produces a very generic rpm which does not take care of initrd,
grub etc. Additionally, the -devel package is missing, breaking many
dependencies.

I tried to integrate the method described in [1] with the guide for
CentOS kernel compilatiom [2], but didn't succeed. Somehow, the lustre
packages for ldiskfs aren't compiled automatically, and I get a lot of
missing symbol errors upon installing the resulting rpms. 

What is the correct way of producing these kernel rpms?

Cheers,
Arne
