I'm aware of that. There's a better way BTW that's documented in the RPM man page. There's a file called /etc/popt that you can put a bunch of macros in to cause rpm to call rpmbuild. This is a much cleaner implementation since it works for all of the packages that use RPM rather than just the kernel.

Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with my problem. That was something that happened in redhat 8 not 9. The redhat 9 feature creates a debug package for every package you create, at least it tries to. This aparently doesn't work for the kernel. I don't know exactly what the mechinisim is.
Anyway, I got a helpful e-mail from a redhat person. I'm still compliling the kernel now, but what he told me is you need to change
%_enable_debug_packages 1
to
%_enable_debug_packages %{nil}
not 0. In /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros
If you have this problem try it and see if it works.
Thanks to everyone for all the help Jay
