Only if you're doing it wrong. :)
That's what I usually do:
# rpm -i kernel-2.6.x-nnnn.src.rpm
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
# rpmbuild -bp --target=x86_64 kernel-2.6.spec
[...wait...]
# mv /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.x/linux-2.6.x /usr/src/kernels/2.6.x-nnnn.bernie
# cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6.x-nnnn.bernie
# vi Makefile
[...set EXTRAVERSION to "-nnnn.bernie"...]
# cp ../<oldkernel/.config .
# make oldconfig
# make
# make modules_install
# make install
Is it wrong? Is there an easy way to skip the first steps?
