Question kernel install error.

i'm running f21.
I do the following steps to recompile the kernel, but consistently run into the same problem ( see below).
What am i missing?

Code:
rpmdev-setuptree
mv ~/ kernel-3.17.7-300.fc21.src.rpm ~/rpmbuild/
rpm -Uhv kernel-3.17.7-300.fc21.src.rpm
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target=$(uname -m) kernel.spec
cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-3.17.fc21/linux-3.17.7-300.fc21.x86_64/
cp ./configs/kernel-3.17.7-x86_64.config ./.config

make menuconfig 
# apply patch to BIOS
cp ~/Downloads/dsdt.hex ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-3.17.fc21/vanilla-3.17/include/                 
cp .config ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/config-`uname -m`-generic
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
vi kernel.spec
cp ./kernel.spec ~/
rpmbuild -bb --with baseonly --without debuginfo --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
as the result my attempt to localinstall the kernel:
Code:
cd /home/az/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Holy macro ... I knew there was a reason why I quit using RH back in '98. How can a distro make a simple thing so complicated.

xe xe , i guess i should be more precise - it's a kernel recompile + patch + RPM creation steps. So the RPM creation, apparently, is not working right for me. kernel and patch application works fine.

this is embarrassing actually...

installer asked :
Quote:
Requires: kernel-core-uname-r = 3.17.7-300.local.fc21.x86_64
so that's what i should have gave it - specify other packages needed to install the kernel rpm..
