I have installed the fedora 14, but there is no kernel source tree.I read the doc "building a custom kernel".But I don't want to rebuild a new kernel.I just want to install the source tree of current kernel.Could someone tell me the way?

What am I doing wrong?
I installed the kernel source RPM to add a patch to a driver kernel module that didn't support my NIC. Now that the patch is part of the official source tree I no longer need the kernel source and I want to delete it. Can I just do rm -rf rpmbuild or do I need to run the reverse of the rpm commands described in Section 1 of [URL].

I'd like to have a shot at building FBReader 12.1 from source for use within F12 (kernel 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.PAE) but am having problems locating the following .rpm files:

I have done a new install of Fedora 14 but the RTL8191 wirless card is not being recognised. Realtek have provided the driver source but the make operation is failing because (I think) Fedora 14 isn't provided with the kernel source to enable it to complete successfully.
Basically (in easy to understand steps): how do I download correctly the Kernel source to enable the driver make operation to proceed?
I am running an Hp Pavillion dv6000 with the Broadcom card that never seems to work for Linux. I recently talked with my friend who said he found a way to get it work.following his instructions I opened Synaptic and checked the package bmcwl-kernel-source to be installed.I went through the process of it all and it said it had install successfully. I restarted the computer and when I tried to enter my operating system I got this error "Kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block(8,1)"
I have previous versions of Linux on my computer so I can still get in to those if need be but I don't know how to undo what I did or why it isn't working for that matter. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this error and how I can fix it?
I've been trying to install nvidia drivers yesterday, so I went to runlevel 3, ran the .bin installer and it came up with error: missing kernel-devel and kernel-source.
So I go yum install kernel-devel, it does, but it doesnt find anything like kernel-source.
How do I fix this issue? I have Fedora 12, and I ran drivers from:[URL]..
I installed the latest kernel liquorix (2.6.35) but when i want to install the Nvidia driver downloaded on the Nvidia website (256.53), i have an error message because Nvidia doesn't found the kernel source tree.
I install linux-image-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb, linux-headers-2.6.35-6.dmz.2-liquorix-686_2.6.35-16_i386.deb and build-essential. I don't understand why the installation doesn't works.
It sounds like he's making a difference between the kernel "source code" and the kernel itself(as in the downloaded file/ files) but the way he talks about both is the same.So then, if one had already "installed" the "kernel sources code," why would he need the "tarball with the newest Linux kernel?" He's already "installed" a kernel, right?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running CentOS 5.3 and would like to know what the "best" or "proper" method is to build a custom kernel using the generic kernel sources from kernel.org. Most of the references I've found talk about modifying the current CentOS kernel using the RPM way. I really want to have the latest kernel due to some important security issues that haven't been addressed in the current CentOS 5.3 kernel.

View 3 Replies View Relatedprobably an obvious error so I apologise in advance - trying to install vmware player, and it needs the kernel-source to build drivers. I've gone out and downloaded kernel-source for my running kernel.
However it's complaining that the kernel-source (2.6.31.12-0.1) does not match the running kernel (2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop).
Presumably there's something I need to do in order to get the 2.6.31.12-0.1 aligned to 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop?
I just recently installed SUSE onto my computer because I'm sick of Windows crashing frequently.
Now I'm trying to setup my hardware, seems like everything is fine except for my graphics card.
I have an NVIDIA Quadro FX 540, and I'd downloaded the suitable driver from their site.
However, upon installation, I received some kind of error that mentioned it can't find my kernel.h or something like that. Someone said I would need the kernel source to proceed.
What is the best way for me to set this up?

But it is tar.bz2
How can I install it to my debian?
I know I have kernels in backports and repos, but I want to test and install it from source.
It is good idea to convert it to deb and install it with dpkg -i kernel.deb?
O maybe there are better way?

I am a newbie to CentOS. I use CentOS5 for NetFPGA project.
I installed everyone except building driver for NetFPGA hardware. When I enter the "make" command, it gives an error like:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plusxen/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
In the manual, it says that:
-If you get an error message such as "make: * /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/build: No such file or directory. Stop.", then kernel sources are need to build the driver.
But I don't know which package I have to install. My kernel version is 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plus-i686.
I am using Lenny kernel version 2.6.26-2-686.I am trying to install some drivers and they need kernel source. I installed kernel source through Synaptic, but the driver installer doesn't find it at the place it expects.
1) Where does Lenny keep the kernel source?
2) Are the kernel sources from Debian and www.kernel.org the same?
3) If I want to download the kernel source manually, where do I get it from?
I had somewhat of a simple questioned I tried out the latest revision to the Kernel of Day for Opensuse 11.2 built against the master. kernel-default-2.6.36-rc3.10.1.i586.rpm however looking at the tree it appears Novell/Suse doesn't release the source.rpm thinking I could recompile it to support the dependencies that I'm missing.
