Thanks Ben,

I tried the kernel-2.4.spec from the 7.1 release and ran into the following
error when I 
trid "rpm -bl kernel-2.4.spec":

error: File /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/linux-2.4.3.tar.bz2: No such file or
directory

Is there some sort of documentation as what is required to build what the
spec file is setup
for? I can get the linux-2.4.3.tar.bz2 from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4 which
is 20+ MB and would take quit a while with a SLOW internet.  I am just
afraid this problem is
just the tip of the iceberg on what to follow.  I have the 2.4.3 kernel
source build, is there
a short cut to just build the following?

> kernel-smp-2.4.3-12.ia64.rpm
> kernel-headers-2.4.3-12.ia64.rpm

7.1 is also IA64 which is what I am using.

Hi,

Check the SRPM file - when you install the SRPM it puts the SPEC file in 
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ directory.

BTW - I thought Red Hat released 7.2 for IA64 machines - so you might want
to 
look at the files there or the updated 2.4.9-13 ones - not sure if they're 
for IA64 though...
