[PLUG] Help with source after kernel update
|
Hi Greg / PLUG :
Sorry to bother you again, I'm on to new things now, but getting stuck.
I managed to upgrade my kernel to 2.2.17-14 using RPMs following a
HOWTO.
Part of the HOWTO specified installing RPMs for the source & headers.
This part I didn't do, since it said "only needed for developers".
Well, I run VMware, and need to configure it to run on the new kernel.
The VMware script is trying to build itself some modules from the source
code, but I don't think I have a correctly installed tree of source.
I did find the kernel-source-2.2.17-14 RPM, but there was no such
kernel-headers RPM for that version. There is a headers RPM for
version 2.2.16.
Basically I'm trying to get the source tree sorted out so that I can get
VMware up and running again.
Previously I untarred the kernel source for 2.2.18 when I was thinking
of upgrading the kernel.
I'm really not sure what the /usr/src directory is supposed to look
like. Currently mine looks like -
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 18130021 Feb 8 20:44
kernel-source-2.2.17-14.i386.rpm
drwxr-xr-x 15 523 523 4096 Feb 9 12:07 linux
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 2 13:38 linux-2.2.14
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 9 03:00 linux-2.2.17
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17561308 Feb 9 12:06
linux-2.2.17.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19090206 Feb 2 13:41
linux-2.2.18.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24644981 Feb 2 13:36
linux-2.4.1.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jul 22 2000 redhat
.....Looks a bit of a mess to me. Would you mind advising on how I
should organise this....what to delete / install, etc?
