  $@&!, i read them and missed it 3 times (my fault)...  I'm
used to building released sources from kernel.org, never the RPM.

  1. The specified filename in the release notes is incorrect
     ( kernel.spec --> kernel-2.6.spec )
  2. There needs to be a hint of supported arch's in the release
     notes.
  3. supplying a value of 'all_x86', (which i had to guess at by
     reviewing the specs file), assuming it was the lowest-common
     denominator for x86 tree failed.  'i686' seems to work.
  4. placing the kernel tree in a non-standard location will cause
     some apps to not compile, why isn't it moved to /usr/src/ ?
  5. kernel version is 2.6.9-prep, not 2.6.9-1.649.  is this right?
