Fedora :: Fc15: VBoxAddition Fails Due To Kernel-devel Version

Sep 3, 2011

I tried installing the VBOX additions. But after running the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run file, building of the kernel modules failed. It gave following message: The headers of the currently running kernel were not found. If the current compilation fails then probably this could be the reason. The missing package can be probably installed with yum install kernel-devel-2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686.

But when I tried installing the above kernel headers and devel package, it says no such package were found.kernel is 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.i686 but the kernel headers are not available for this version. They are available for previous versions i.e 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.i686.should I downgrade my kernel version (if it's possible) or is there any way things can work out. I have enabled 3D accelaration and given the memory of 128 MB for display. The memory for Virtual Box is 1 GB and hard Disk is 8 GB. The host system is windows 7.

Fedora Installation :: Kernel-devel Package With Version Between The Fedora And Update Repo Version

Sep 11, 2009

I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686

I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)

Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?

Fedora Hardware :: FC15 X86_64 Printer Install Fails

Jul 26, 2011

Epson R285, good as gold on FC14, and intially onFC15. Entering the cups admin tool, localhost:631, the printer is set up, the correct drivers are slected, paper size OK.
Cant get it to print a test page, its wants the password for CUPS and wont accept root, but root login can change all other params.

On the gnome printer applet , you can unlock it, add printer select local, and it goes away and finds the Epson R285, click on "add" it queries the printer and immediately drops back to the original printer applet. Without adding a printer. I haven't succeeded with network printing, the firewall is open on port 631, yet any attempt to find it from another computer fails. The gnome printer appet which interfaced with Gnome 2.x was nice, you could select everything needed. Not with this thing.

Fedora :: Kernel 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 - VirtualBox - Missing Module

Jun 16, 2011

I generally check what updates are being installed. This time sadly I didn't and again this kernel had one missing module. VirtualBox-OSE stopped working. It had been working fine with other upgrades. No it's not a problem with dkms or other stuff. This kernel doesn't have vboxdrv module like other kernels...i verified it...

[Code]...

The 2.6.38.8 version doesn't have vboxdrv module!....hence again I have to roll back to older kernel. So before blindly upgrading....read this message!

Fedora :: Can't Install Nvidia Devdriver In FC15 After Kernel Update To 2.6.40-4

Aug 14, 2011

Whenever I update my kernel, I have to re-install the NVIDIA drivers, and this has always worked for me so far. I have the latest version of the Developer Drivers for Linux (270.41.19). After updating to the 2.6.40-4.fc15.x86_64 kernel, the nvidia installer fails with the error (/var/log/nvidia-installer.log):

Quote:

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

ERROR:

The kernel sources are installed. Installation works properly in 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64

Red Hat :: Install Ethernet Adapter Driver - Not Finding Kernel-devel Or Kernel-headers

Aug 30, 2010

I'm attempting to install the driver for my atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet adapter (in my Lenovo laptop) on my newly installed RHEL5 system (it's not currently being recognized).

I tried using: 'make install' but hit an error "Makefile:61: *** Linux kernel source not found."

After this, I tried: 'sudo yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers'

To rectify this, but hit this error "No package kernel-devel available" (and the same for the headers). What should I do?

Red Hat :: Difference Between 'kernel Sources' & 'kernel-devel'

Jan 7, 2010

I have installed CentOS 5.4 & am trying to install VirtualBox on it. To install VirtualBox I run the command:

yum localinstall path/Virtualbox.rpm

It runs through the dependency check & says everything is fine. It installs the rpm & then says that compiling of the kernel module failed & that VirtualBox will not start until this is fixed, & that the most like cause is that the kernel sources are not installed.

I have installed the kernel-devel package & have the kernel source tree located at /usr/src/kernel/2.6....

Fedora :: Wrong Kernel On Version 11

Jul 26, 2009

When I installed fedora 11 the other day using the live CD it installed the i586 kernel and not the i686, despite the fact that smolt seems to know that that the hardware is i686 (well, actually it's x86, but I'm not going to argue because I forgot to get that one...). Why would it install the i586 one though? (uname -r 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i586) But more importantly, are there any specific issues which this version can cause that I should be aware of? I can't really be bothered to change it at the moment if there is no real issue with it but I'm not too sure what difference it makes? Is it slower? It seems to know that I have a quad-core processor and seems to use them fine.

Fedora :: Kernel Fails To Boot After A Dd Copy Of Sda To Sdb?

Oct 1, 2009

As the post title says I have attempted to move my FC11 from a 120 gig ide drive to a 250 gig sata drive. I have tried all of the following with the same result listed below: Basic setup is as folows:

old hdd /dev/sda1 (boot) /dev/sda2(swap) /dev/sda3 (/)

attempt 1- boot fc11 live cd with old drive detected as sda and nwe drive detected as sdb.

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512

attempt 2 - boot into fc11 live cd fdisk remove old partitionon /dev/sdb and create exact copy of partition table on /dev/sda on /dev/sdb - mark /sdb1 as bootable and copy /dev/sda1 + /dev/sda3 to /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb3

dd if=/dev/sda* of=/dev/sdb* bs=512 (* denotes 1 or 3 respectively)

attempt 3 boot linux rescue cd based on debian

run gparted to remove old partitions on /dev/sdb
use gparted to copy partitions from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb

All of the above result in the following (as best as I can describe it)

system self checks OK
system loads GRUB menu -OK
system appears to load kernel and then hangs after outputting device information regarding my USB keyboard and mouse.

Is there some magic that I am missing? system.map perhaps? Additonal info: grub.conf looks like:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that

Fedora :: Current Stable Version Of Kernel In F10?

Aug 26, 2009

Which is the current stable version of kernel in fedora 10 and how can I installed because right now I have unstable kernel:
uname -a
Linux blind 2.6.29.3-60.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat May 9 04:18:14 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I just want to get back to latest stable kernel of fedora 10. I'm not able from the grub to choose an older because there are only kernels for fedora 9. The problem was that previously I used fedora 9 however I upgrade it but it was still with kernel of fedora 9 so I pick it the unstable of fedora 10 and I installed it. Right now I just want to get back to current version of kernel in fedora 10 so I can upgrade it to fedora 11.

Red Hat / Fedora :: RPM Kernel Upgrade To Latest Version (SL6)

May 13, 2011

I am relatively new to the Linux System (8 months). I am having issues after upgrading the Scientific Linux 6 kernel from its current 2.6.x version to the latest version that SL6 has available. The issue is that once I install the upgrade and reboot, the internet becomes extremely laggy when scrolling on web pages, so much so that you get a ripple like effect as your scrolling. Which doesn't occur in the current kernel i am using.

Current Kernel is: 2.6.32-71.18.2.el6
New Kernel RPM update is: 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6

I wish I could figure out the problem but I am having trouble identifying what exactly the current kernel has that the new one doesn't that would cause the internet lag. I have read other topics with similar kernel update problems, but none have expressed an internet problem & only an internet problem from a kernel update.
