Can't Find/Install Headers for my Kernel

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I am trying to install a piece of software that uses an install.pl script which looks to /usr/src/linux/include/ for my kernel headers...but it never finds them or that directory/link. I've run "yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers" so I am pretty sure they are installed. My "rpm -qa | grep kernel" returns: kernel-devel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 kernel-headers-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 kernel-firmware-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.noarch kernel-PAE-2.6.31.12-127.fc12.i686 kernel-PAE-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686 And my "uname -a" returns: 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP What am I missing? :confused: (HowTos)

Hi,

I seem to be facing trouble launching VBox on the following kernel :

3.8.12-100.fc17.i686.PAE

Have two kernels on the same machine - 3.8.12-100.fc17.i686.PAE & 3.8.12-100.fc17.i686. Vbox has issues only on the PAE one.

building a custom kernel 3 years 14 weeks ago

Hi! I am trying to build a custom kernel, following the guide on fedora wiki

the error occurs when Im installing the build dependencies

Code: [john@lunatech ~]$ sudo yum-builddep kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.src.rpm [sudo] password for john:

I am running F12.

With prior kernels - 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 or before - I could simply rename the nouveau.ko driver to nouiveau.ko.bad. Then the kernel would load the nv driver instead, and everything worked great. FWIW: adding rdblacklist="nouveau" to the kernel params in grub.conf didn't seem to do anything.

VMPlayer 3.0 failst to start 3 years 22 weeks ago

Folks, just switched from SuSE 11.0 to 11.2 and installed VMplayer 3. When I start it I get a message box:

"Before you can run VMWare several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel."

I then click Install and enter the root password, but get the message:

Fed 13 2 years 38 weeks ago

Anyone else having probs with Fed 13?

No matter what I try, I can't get it to start! It always stops just after 'loading SMB' and I never get a screen.

Also, running Fed 12, any kernel than 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 never actually gets Fed up and running. The newest kernel I have is:

2.6.32.19-163.fc12.i686.

Do any of you have this prob?
