Topic: kernel-source for SME 7 ?!

[duncan]

For those looking for a method for either patching kernel modules and rebuilding them (ie in my case - patching netjet drivers for voice support) or building new modules such as XFS file system support - I have documented a howto here. This is method does not require any kernel compilation.

As it is part of a bigger howto - at the point it mentions

Code: [Select]

sh /mythtv/mythmisc/devtools
you would do

Code: [Select]

yum install kernel-source

instead. You can ignore the QT portion unless you have a need for it. Incidentally - both

'yum install kernel-source' and 'yum install kernel-sourcecode' are identical and produce the same result. Approx 90meg of files.

For those that have a third party driver (perhaps a nvidia driver - or some such) then you can more than likely just install the kernel-development package and gcc (compiler).

Code: [Select]

yum install kernel-devel gcc

Duncan, the above link to your how-to gives a 404 error, has it moved?

The above location holds a copy of the correct kernel-source for SME Server Beta8 (CentOS 4.2)

As Hsing pointed out - use his link for the kernel source. It may not work as well as expected. The "kernel-source" is now gone from yum - meaning you will need to nut out the various dependancies.
