Hi spot and others... I am able to rebuild successfully on my Ultra2 box the sparc64 kernel: rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.20-2.31sparc.src.rpm (from the updates) rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.4.spec which gives me: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/sparc64/kernel-2.4.20-2.31sparc.sparc64.rpm /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/sparc64/kernel-smp-2.4.20-2.31sparc.sparc64.rpm /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/sparc64/kernel-BOOT-2.4.20-2.31sparc.sparc64.rpm /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/kernel-2.4.20-2.31sparc.src.rpm (Don't mock me, I've seen cases in the RH5.x RH6.x era when the src.rpm wouldn't rebuild itself...) Now, what do I do with kernel-BOOT in order to build a new tftp64.img? I'm guessing that I will have to build the boot kernel manually and run piggyback from there or can I just rpm2cpio it and create a new initrd to be merged into tftp64.img? The tftp64.img appears to be a sparc executable which means arch/sparc64/boot/piggyback was run on it but it would bootstrap me a little if you could help me a little with the procedure on how to actually do that.. I found references to a tool named tftpboot.sh but that's for debian mostly so it might be a little different for Aurora. I just want to boot that F15K domain and see how many cpus/GB's the kernel can take.. :) ,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-,._.,-*~'`^`'~*-, Vincent S.
