Building a i686 kernel rpm

[mgoins at kcp.com]

I would normally grab the kernel source configure it then install it, but
as you can see from my post I am deploying 200 boxes via kickstart so
creating a custom kernel RPM makes the most sense.

kernel from rpm *shudder*  Atleast extract the source
and go through the steps of configuring it.  It's not
that hard with a little bit of research and a howto.

All else fails ask on the list.
