a question for any Red Hat "Wolverine" users

[LoRdMaUL]

I am gonna recompile my kernel on this release but when i go to /usr/src and do a ls....i get this....

[root@higher src]# ls
redhat

I checked to be sure that the kernel and headers were installed and got this:

[root@higher RPMS]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.4.1-0.1.9
[root@higher RPMS]# rpm -q kernel-headers
kernel-headers-2.4.1-0.1.9

So my question is where in the hell is the linux folder that is normally in /usr/src to go into to start 'make xconfig'?

:confused:

i too am using wolverine...

i believe you need the kernel-source package...

but i'm not sure

[LoRdMaUL]

well...unless I am totally blind...i dont see that package...here is what the cd has...[grant@higher RPMS]$ ls kernel*
kernel-2.4.1-0.1.9.i386.rpm kernel-headers-2.4.1-0.1.9.i386.rpm
kernel-2.4.1-0.1.9.i586.rpm kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-0.3.i386.rpm
kernel-2.4.1-0.1.9.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.1-0.1.9.i586.rpm
kernelcfg-0.6-10.i386.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.1-0.1.9.i686.rpm
kernel-enterprise-2.4.1-0.1.9.i686.rpm

You do need hte kernel-source package. I don't know why it's not included; it's on my Redhat 7 (non-beta) CD.

Tupelo, eh? I'm originally from Senatobia.

Aside from the fact that I think it's unusual to NOT have at least a /usr/src/linux/include dir when you've already installed the kernel-headers RPM, I'd just grab the latest source from kernel.org and be done with it. Do keep in mind that RH is always seemingly in beta stage, and running a bleeding edge distro like that will have some unusual aspects. ;)
