This page below is my scratch pad.

Compile a Kernel

RHEL 6

Using a kernel source RPM.

# Setup the build environment.
yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum -y install xmlto elfutils-libelf-devel zlib-devel binutils-devel

# ASCIIdoc needs to be installed from source at the moment.
wget -c http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/asciidoc/asciidoc/8.6.3/asciidoc-8.6.3.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fasciidoc%2Ffiles%2F&ts=1290017689&use_mirror=superb-sea2
tar -xvzf asciidoc-8.6.3.tar.gz
cd asciidoc-8.6.3
autoconf
./configure
make
make install
cd ~

# Get the src RPM
wget -c http://fedorapeople.org/~myoung/dom0/src/kernel-2.6.32.25-172.xendom0.fc12.src.rpm

# Install the source.
rpm -i kernel-2.6.32.25-172.xendom0.fc12.src.rpm

# Edit the spec file and build (remove the 'asciidoc' requirement as it was fulfilled via tarball).
cd rpmbuild/SPECS/
vim kernel.spec
rpmbuild -ba kernel.spec

Enable the source RPM repo

vim /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-src.repo

[rhel-src]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Source
baseurl=ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/$releasever/en/os/SRPMS/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

Enable the 'RHEL Server Optional' repo and then add your system to it.
