Thanks, Laura. CM3218X is under light sensors, and should be a module. The line first gets removed when I run 'make oldconfig,' so I skipped 'make oldconfig.' I still get the same error and it seems to be introduced in the line 'mv kernel-4.4.0-aarch64.config .config' under 'for i in *.config' in the spec file. I've built kernels before, but in this case I want to wind up with a Fedora kernel package I can install and remove cleanly, otherwise I wouldn't be trying to use rpmbuild. I want an i686 kernel... does my command line look correct? rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --without debuginfo --target=i686 kernel.spec Thanks again, Mike On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 11:39 AM, Laura Abbott <labbott(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > On 01/23/2016 04:57 PM, Michael Hill wrote: >> >> Since the last version of Fedlet came out, I've been building a kernel >> package on my Baytrail tablet from the fc24 source rpm following these >> instructions: >> >> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel >> >> This worked for a number of 4.2 kernels as well as a couple of 4.4 rc >> kernels.

Hi Josh, On Tue, Jan 26, 2016 at 7:47 AM, Josh Boyer <jwboyer(a)fedoraproject.org&gt; wrote: I installed Adam Williamson's Fedlet on my Baytrail tablet (a T100TA). I run Rawhide elsewhere so I thought it would be nice to build a newer kernel. The wiki instructions were pretty straightforward and I didn't have any build issues until recently (although one of the early 4.4 rc kernels I built and ran decided to eat the filesystem). There is an active G+ Community that's Ubuntu-centric (https://plus.google.com/communities/117853703024346186936) where I've been following the patches (and config file) they use. For 4.4 they've narrowed it down to 10 of the 11 in the 4.4 patches folder here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9C1WK1FQhjfcXNrbzN6djQzajg&u... (For the 4.2 kernels, there were 22 patches.) The one that I can't get to stay in .config lately is the Capella cm32181 device driver, but I've been short-circuiting the instructions in the "Copy the Source Tree and Generate a Patch" section and just applying them individually so it's getting overwritten.
