From: Don Zickus <dzickus(a)redhat.com&gt; In 5.8-rc1, a change was made to not always generate a Module.symvers file if no modules were built. The s390x zfcpdump variant is a kernel that is built with no modules enabled. The kernel.spec file assumes Module.symvers always exists and fails to build the zfcpdump variant. Modify the spec file to detect the missing file and 'touch' it as a workaround. This file is used utilized by the kabi technology. There is probably a better long term fix, but this is the quick and easy fix. Tested locally using cross-compilers. --- redhat/kernel.spec.template | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/redhat/kernel.spec.template b/redhat/kernel.spec.template index c9eb8f1fca2e..81fb0c876286 100644 --- a/redhat/kernel.spec.template +++ b/redhat/kernel.spec.template @@ -1523,6 +1523,9 @@ BuildKernel() { find . -name *.h.s -delete # first copy everything cp --parents `find -type f -name "Makefile*" -o -name "Kconfig*"` $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/$KernelVer/build + if [ ! -e Module.symvers ]; then + touch Module.symvers + fi cp Module.symvers $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/$KernelVer/build cp System.map $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/$KernelVer/build if [ -s Module.markers ]; then
