There are a number of issues with the generic kmod RPM spec in its current state: - The "%{__id_u}" macro seems to not be available on some systems (e.g. Debian squeeze). It appears it has been deprecated. Use "${__id} -u" instead. - The way the "--with-linux=" configure option is generated in the non-RHEL/Fedora case is completely wrong with various newline and escaping issues (also, $kernel_version is not available in the generator context). The second issue made the generator shell snippet (almost) silently fail, which under specific circumstances can result in broken builds against the wrong kernel sources.

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
