Hi all,
I would like to rebuild a kmod.src.rpm package for a specific kernel.
When I try to do it, this message appears:
Building target platforms: i686
Building for target i686
error: Failed build dependencies:
kernel-xen-devel-i686 = 2.6.18-98.el5 is needed by
mymodule-kmod-0.1.5-2.i686
kernel-PAE-devel-i686 = 2.6.18-98.el5 is needed by
mymodule-kmod-0.1.5-2.i686.
Is it possible to rebuild kmod.src.package only for certain kernel?? i
don't need to rebuild this module for kernel-xen or kernel-PAE only for
kernel-i686 ...
Thanks.

This should be done as a regular user, see http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment HTH

Building a kernel module rpm package (kmod). There are some example lines near the end. This one may be of help: "In a similar fashion, you may select which kernel-variant kmod package(s) to build. For example: [user at host SPECS]$ rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --define 'kvariants ""' cifs-kmod.spec 2> build-err.log | tee build-out.log will build just the base-kernel kmod package. " Akemi
