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@musas SPECS]$ su -c 'rpm -ivh
/home/langolier/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/kernel-2.6.24.4-64.kddm.fc8.i686.rpm '
Palavra passe:

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
man rpm (see --oldpackage)
