how do I rebuild a kernel-source RPM, e.g. kernel-source-2.4.19-SGI_XFS_1.2.0.i386.rpm ?



That's not the source RPM, but rather the kernel source. A
source RPM will be named kernel*.src.rpm and can be built with 'rpmbuild --rebuild kernel*.src.rpm'.


BTW: please check out ftp://ftp.ii.uib.no/pub/janfrode/XFS/README
if you want to build a kernel RPM with the latest do_brk()
security fix.

add --arch="i386,i586,i686,athlon" to the list also, ie rpmbuild --rebuild --arch="i386,i586,i686,athlon" kernel*.src.rpm

Otherwise I believe only the i386 kernel is built and most actually
don't use that one. But everybody else are correct - don't use that
one, it's old. 1.3.1 is out AND there is exploitable holes in that one.
