kernel build fails

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

no. I copied the .config file created in step 7 to 
~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.11-i686.config, as told by the instructions. 
Should I do something else here ?

I've just tried rerunning the instructions but without performing step 7, and 
then things seem to work. Unfortunately its step 7 I need to be able to do - 
I only want to recompile the kernel in order to tweek the configuration a 
little !! Otherwise I might as well use the binary kernel rpms :)

The build carries on like this
.

Is this normal ? Are the ARCH=i386 bits correct ?
