View 5 Replieshow the kernel knows the root directory. For example, in grub menu.lst file we specify root=/dev/hda1. This tells the kernel to find mount the root directory from /dev/hda1. But to read /dev/had1 it should first know where is '/' . I couldn't understand how this is being done.

What am I missing to do this "correctly"?

I am trying to install VMware on my machine. I have downloaded VMware and I am now trying to configure it. After accepting the EULA, the program states;
Code:
None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes] y Then;
Code:
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override. What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI tried to build the virtualbox 3.1.6 kernel using the files from slackbuilds.org and I got this error that says it cannot find the kernel include directory. My current kernel is 2.6.33.2 (slack 13.1).
I tried SOME_VAR=/usr/include --> (I forgot the exact variable name, but I used the variable name I saw in the error message) just a guess , but it didn't work of course.
Is it at /usr/src/linux-2.6.33.2/include or something like that? Or is there anything wrong with the slackbuild script?
I have a server with Fedora 13 with which I would like to get NFS working. I have looked up multiple howto's and tutorials, but I'm having a problem not addressed by any of them.Official how-to, another how-to, and another how-to.I have verified that nfs-utils, nfs-utils-lib, portmap, and system-config-nfs are installed and running. I have verified that I have, in fact, shared the directory that I want to share, and that the proper permissions are set.
I had to go through some gyrations to get the Belkin wireless N router to allow my server to have a static IP. However, I can ping the server from the nfs client (a toshiba satellite running mint 8), and vice versa. I have (for now) disabled firewalls on both computers. I think I have disabled SELinux on Fedora 13 (for now).When I attempt to connect to the server from the client, the output looks like this:Quote:
aragorn ~ # mount -v 192.168.2.101:/test /home/kelev/test/
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Dec 18 12:21:09 2010

Now at stage 2 when I write the command dir/ls in the tmp directory I see the file: linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 (2.6.26 is the version of my kernel) And now if I try to the tar function on my file and write it like this: Code: tar -xjvf linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 -C /usr/src it gives me couple of errors like:
tar: bzip2: can not exec: no such directory
tar: error is unrecoverable: exiting now

I followed this doc for the "debian method" for building the kernel: [URL]. I installed the source in /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32 , configured it, and tried make-kpkg modules-image. The error I get is:
checking for current directory... /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver
checking cross compile...
checking for directory with ALSA kernel sources... ../alsa-kmirror
checking for directory with kernel top-level makefile... /var/tmp/src/linux-2.6-2.6.32

I tried some hacks such as setting KBUILD_SRC or ln -s linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64/ /usr/src/linux - but these fail too.
I am a student studying computer science course.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
Look at my screenshot at [url].
How do you perform a long directory listing of all files in the /bin directory that have exactly three characters in their name?

I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively

So that the file /var/www/mysite/index.php who's user is www-data will appear in the mounted directory as /home/daniel/mysite/index.php and be owned by daniel - and alternatively, if I create a file /home/daniel/mysite/test.php with my own user, it will be created in the original directory under the user www-data Is it possible? If not, what alternatives do I have so I can use an IDE and still make sure all the files belong to the HTTP server's user?
