building kernel RPM problems

I am trying to build a custom kernel RPM on a RHEL 3.0 AS system. Here is part of the output I am getting towards the end.

Code:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.2115.0.4.EL.RU'

+ cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /var/tmp/kernel-2.4.2115.0.4.EL.RU-root/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL.RU

RPM build errors:

    Could not open %files file /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.2115.0.4.EL.RU/debugfiles.list: No such file or directory

make: *** [rpm] Error 1

Actually found that there is a patch to fix that issue. Just in case anyone else has the same problem.
