0

I'm compiling from RPM source. The same compile worked in the past but not this time.

May be you can help me to solve this issue?

make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/xen/arch/x86'
gzip -f -9 < /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/xen/xen > /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/xen/xen.gz.new
mv /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/xen/xen.gz.new /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/xen/xen.gz
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/xen'
BUILDING A KERNEL FOR x86_64...

RPM build errors:

May I ask why you are dealing with such an old kernel? – VL-80 – 2014-04-06T17:37:37.693

2.6.18 is the default kernel for CentOS 5. Why is OP using CentOS 5? – Bruno9779 – 2014-05-15T14:08:08.727

cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/xen/arch/x86
cp configs/<desired-config-file> .config
make oldconfig
make menuconfig

or 

make xconfig

Then

cp .config ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-`uname -m`-generic
cd /root/rpmbuild
rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
