7.4.5 Building Your Own RPMs
If you do not have a driver pack that is compatible with your Linux kernel, you can
build your own SUSE Drivers for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on Xen RPM.
1 Open a terminal.
2 Mount the driver pack ISO. For instructions on how to use the ISO images see
Section 5.1, "Virtual CD Readers" (page 33).
3 Enter rpmbuild -–rebuild xxx.src.rpm , where xxx is the name for
the source RPM. This creates a binary RPM in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/
arch/, where arch is the architecture of the virtual machine.

chine.
2 Set up the ISO image or CD of the drivers you want to install as a virtual CD
reader by following the instructions at Section 5.1.3, "Adding Virtual CD
