I successfully compiled my own kernel for my machine (almost no module to load ^_^) : 2.6.37.6-0.7-hpmini
But there are some proprietary drivers : nvidia and broadcom-wl.
For nvidia, the driver installer automatically detect the kernel, compile the nvidia module and install it.
For broadcom : how to I compile it with my kernel and install it ?? I tried :
But I get only kernel module for opensuse flavor (broadcom-wl-kmp-default-5.100.82.38_k2.6.37.6_0.7-7.pm.9.7.i586.rpm , broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop-5.100.82.38_k2.6.37.6_0.7-7.pm.9.7.i586.rpm , etc …).
What can I do to have my own broadcom-wl-kmp-hpmini-5.100.82.38_k2.6.37.6_0.7-7.pm.9.7.i586.rpm ?? I supposed that it is related to how I can get may own kernel-desktop-hpmini-2.6.37.6-0.7.1.rpm ??
Hi
You need to modify the spec file to include your ‘flavor’ unpack the
rpm and copy the files to /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and use rpmbuild
-ba <spec_file> to build the new rpm.
Is there a cleaner way ? Because I don’t want to hack each .spec file of kernel related packages (even that won’t be more than the number of finger in the hand, I know) ?
I ssaw in the spec file :
for flavor in %flavors_to_build; do
rm -rf obj/$flavor
cp -r source obj/$flavor
make -C /usr/src/linux-obj/%_target_cpu/$flavor modules \
M=$PWD/obj/$flavor V=1
done
I suppose that “%flavors_to_build” is defined somehow in OpenSuse and rpmbuild use it ?
I created a link from my kernel build folder to /usr/src/linux-obj/%_target_cpu/myflavor but when I rebuild the broadcom rpm, it doesn’t seems to care
There is a “%suse_kernel_module_package” but without any flavor, desktop, default, xen, …
Here is the complete .spec file :

I don’t know OBS. As you said, it is possible for me to make package online ? It will support the kernel that I have locally ? If that the case, I will try it. Thanks.
I get it work by faking a flavor :
I create a folder /usr/src/linux-obj/i386/hpmini
I compile and install my kernel from there
Reboot (seems to be important)
Then “rpmbuild --rebuild broadcom-wl-5.100.82.38-7.pm.9.7.src.rpm” create a -kmp-hpmini-
