For some reason the latest rawhide kernels are available for i386 and i686 
only.  I need an i586smp version for an old dual-Pentium/90 server we have 
here in the shop.  I've tried to rebuild:

# rpm --rebuild --target i586 kernel-2.4.9-0.18.src.rpm
Installing kernel-2.4.9-0.18.src.rpm
Building target for platforms: i586
Building for target i586
Error: Architecture is not included: i586

Perhape more ominous, I eventually see the following error message when 
attempting to rebuild for i386:

...
+++ df /def/sda6
++ echo 150
+ '[' 150 -lt 400 ']'
+ echo 'build root /var/tmp/kernel-2.4.9-0.18-root has insufficient disk space'
build root /var/tmp/kernel-2.4.9-0.18-root has insufficient disk space
+ exit 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.99272 (%build)

RPM build errors:
     Bad exist status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.99272 (%build)

This looks like a kernel RPM rebuild requires at least 400M available in 
/var.  I created this system with Roswell-2 CDs specifying a standard 
server configuration which partitioned the 7G firmware RAID5 array like this:

# df -Th
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5     ext3    372M  133M  220M  38% /
/dev/sda1     ext3     45M   13M   30M  29% /boot
/dev/sda3     ext3    1.6G   94M  1.4G   6% /home
none         tmpfs     30M    0M   30M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2     ext3    4.4G  2.6G  1.6G  62% /usr
/dev/sda6     ext3    251M   87M  150M  37% /var

If I read this correctly, I can never rebuild a kernel RPM on a system 
configured as a standard out-of-the-box server.

Thoughts, anybody?
