Well switching over to the "new spec file" causes all the 3rd party module build scripts to fail. The say "kernel configuration not valid - run 'make prepare' in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2328.fc6-x86_64 to update it." Are you going back to the old way or are going to have to fix all the builds? I vote for the old way! Using "_FC6" is fine with me. There errors so far are for mvidia, vmware, ntfs, and spca5xx modules.
What are they checking to figure this out?

It looks like this is where the message is coming from. For example, spca5xx executes "make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=/root/spca5xx-20060501 CC=cc modules" to build the module. The error is coming from the /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2328.fc6-x86_64/Makefile. Where do I go from here to fix this? I am not a Makefile wizard :-(.

I 'fixed' this by doing the following: cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2328.fc6-i686 make prepare
Worked for me after that (i.e., I could build the vmware modules).
I did: cd /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2336.fc6-x86_64 make prepare vmware-config.pl and it still fails with the same error!
I could not build vmware or spca5xx modules. Ntfs module build worked. It is a src livna modified build.
Is this error 64bit only? Any more ideas of what to try?
