[BProc] building modified cm4 kernel

[Daniel G. <dg...@ti...>]

Hi Erik,

Well, as I am still struggling with the alpha (UX) machines and the
scheduling problem that starves the nodes, I would like to try to rebuild
the Clustermatic 4 kernel, and test it on my machine.  The need to rebuild
is due to the fact that my machines use milo, and there is no srm console 
for them.  I know I need to change one parameter in the config file(s) for
the kernel(s):  CONFIG_ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS=y.

Can you tell me what the easiest way to do this is?  Do I simply modify the
kernel-2.4.22-alpha.config file that got unpacked from the src.rpm and
then use rpmbuild on the kernel-2.4.spec file?  Do I need to have other
packages installed on the machine prior to rebuilding the kernel (e.g.
bproc-4.0.0pre3-1)?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
