Hi Guys

I've been a while (again) since I've mucked around with linux-vserver,
but the time is here again. This time with CentOS.

My ideal setup, as i've come to realise, is a CentOS installation as the
host OS, with a linux vserver kernel.

Now, my problem lies with an RPM that would suite my purposes. I am
unable to find an out of the box kernel RPM, so I thought i'de give it a
crack. I've started building RPM's for other software recently,so I
thought it would be within my power to try a kernel build. I was wrong.
I cant even build the CentOS4.4 kernel on a basic machine with the build
software installed, and the src rpm from the CentOS site, let alone a
patched version of the CentOS kernel, or a vanilla kernel. (yes, i've
tried the vanilla kernel, with a make rpm-pkg and that has the same
problems). By the way, trying to make a vanilla kernel, no patches, with
standard make commands (no make rpm) fails with the same reasons
(invalid string offset errors from the linker).

Has anyone got kernel RPM's with the linux vserver patches installed
(vanilla or otherwise) that are build for CentOS4.4? I know Daniel has
the fedora kernels, and I've been scouring his rpm repository to find
the centos ones with no luck (plenty of util-vserver rpms, but no
kernels). I had the thought that the vserver stuff might already be in
the kernel (long shot i know, but anythings possible) so I downloaded
the util-vserver rpms and tried them, to no avail of course :)

I would love to be able to compile a kernel and package it as an RPM,
however at the moment my efforts are not being rewarded with anything
remotely usable. If someone could help me with compiling the kernel that
would be appreciated (I have the logs showing what errors I'm getting).

Any help at all would be appreciated :)

Thankyou for your time. Matt.
