problem in the pre-build stage

[Oliveiros Cristina]

Hello, Don.

After applying your suggestions, it built ok, thanks a million.

Now my next problem is that, although it builds OK, I cannot install it...

Here's what I am doing

[langolier at musas SPECS]$ su -c 'rpm -ivh
/home/langolier/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/kernel-2.6.24.4-64.kddm.fc8.i686.rpm '
Palavra passe:
A preparar...               ###########################################
[100%]
        o pacote kernel-2.6.24.4-64.langolier.fc8 (que é mais recente que o
kernel-2.6.24.4-64.kddm.fc8) já está instalado
        o pacote kernel-2.6.24.4-64.tipc1_7_5.fc8 (que é mais recente que o
kernel-2.6.24.4-64.kddm.fc8) já está instalado
[langolier at musas SPECS]$

It is complaining that the more recent packages  are already installed.
It means "The package kernel-2.6.24.4-64.langolier.fc8(with is more recent
than the kernel-2.6.24.4-64.kddm.fc8) is already installed"


These two kernels are simply versions of the same kernel (2.6.24.4-64)
without any patches....

Do you know how can I force the system to install this new kernel and boot
it?
Should I change /boot/grub/menu.lst manually myself? Or that's not
recommended ?

Best,
Oliveiros
