custom kernel build [message #3180]

A diff between the following configs returns nothing:

(downloadable individually from the website)
kernel-2.6.8-022stab077-x86_64-smp.config.ovz

(included in the source RPM)
kernel-2.6.8-022stab077-x86_64-smp.config.ovz

Yet somehow when I build the custom kernel as follows the the resulting kernels are different in size than those installed by the published rpm, ovzkernel-smp-2.6.8-022stab077.1.x86_64.rpm.

Why?

Steps used to build:

rpm -ivh ovzkernel-2.6.8-022stab077.1.src.rpm
edit /usr/src/redhat/SPEC/kernel-ovz.spec

replace
%define ksubrelease 1
with
%define ksubrelease 1.custom

and finally

rpmbuild -bb kernel-ovz.spec

The spec files are identical as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Derrick

Probably it is due to different gcc versions.

Thank you for response. I was thinking that the difference in size might be a clue as to why the custom kernel will not boot.

I have made no changes to the kernel config but the custom kernel will not boot.
