Kernel 3.8.6 – x86_64 and ARM (Pi)
Just updated to kernel 3.8.6, and used the incremental patch at https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/incr/patch-3.8.5-6.bz2 to update the Raspberry Pi..
Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)
Kernel 3.8.6-pi on an armv6l (ttyAMA0)
……………
# uname -a
Linux rgpi 3.8.6-pi #1 PREEMPT Fri Apr 5 23:10:23 BST 2013 armv6l armv6l armv6l GNU/Linux
Everything works OK, and the x86_64 system compiles the latest VMware (9.02) and NVIDIA (310.44)..

Are the pre-built kernel rpms posted anywhere, or do Fedora kernel build instructions exist somewhere?
Just to be clear, the above question is in regards to the Raspberry Pi; I’m already familiar with x86/x86_64 kernel locations and build process.
I did post some info on building the Pi (or any ARM) kernel, some time ago, at http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=49 You will have to install the ARM cross-compile toolchain, and I believe there are a set of (old?) Fedora RPMs for this, in the ‘fedora-cross’ repository.. I actually use the ARM cross-compile toolchain from the OpenELEC Pi build, copied across..
There are other ways to do this, and details can be found elsewhere..
I don’t know of any specific RPMs..
