-It is sensible to make minor edits to ''​dot-config-i686''​ and/or ''​dot-config-x86_64'',​ but please be sure to also adjust the package revision number by editing ''​EXTRAVERSION''​ in the ''​*-owl.diff''​ patch file and ''​Release''​ in ''​kernel.spec''​ (these must be kept in sync, or the build will fail). ​ For example, you might change ''​EXTRAVERSION''​ from ''​-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.2.owl3''​ to ''​-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.2.owl3.local1''​ and ''​Release''​ from ''​%ovzversion.owl3''​ to ''​%ovzversion.owl3.local1''​ (instead of ''​local'',​ you may use your nickname or your network/​company/​project name). ​ This is to avoid confusion with Owl official kernel revisions and to allow you to install your RPMs alongside the official ones.+It is sensible to make minor edits to ''​dot-config-i686''​ and/or ''​dot-config-x86_64'',​ but please be sure to also adjust the package revision number by editing ''​EXTRAVERSION''​ in the ''​*-owl.diff''​ patch file and ''​Release''​ in ''​kernel.spec''​ (these must be kept in sync, or the build will fail with ''​File not found: /​usr/​src/​world/​rpm-work-1/​buildroot/​lib/​modules/​2.6.18-...''​ errors).  For example, you might change ''​EXTRAVERSION''​ from ''​-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.2.owl3''​ to ''​-238.5.1.el5.028stab085.2.owl3.local1''​ and ''​Release''​ from ''​%ovzversion.owl3''​ to ''​%ovzversion.owl3.local1''​ (instead of ''​local'',​ you may use your nickname or your network/​company/​project name). ​ This is to avoid confusion with Owl official kernel revisions and to allow you to install your RPMs alongside the official ones.
  
 For non-trivial kernel configuration changes (or just to be safe), you may prefer to do a non-RPM'​ed kernel build (then either actually use the resulting kernel or just roll your build-tested changes back into the native tree for building an RPM package). For non-trivial kernel configuration changes (or just to be safe), you may prefer to do a non-RPM'​ed kernel build (then either actually use the resulting kernel or just roll your build-tested changes back into the native tree for building an RPM package).
