finding my dang kernel source
#1

im probably just impatient, considering FC5 is fairly new, but does anyone know where i can get kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.src.rpm?? ive checked everywhere, yum doesnt even have it.

i tried yumdownloader --source kernel and i got nothin.

 

would installing a non-smp kernel source be bad?

i need kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.src.rpm but i have kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.src.rpm.

i need the source code to install a driver for my netgear WG311T wireless NIC.

 

i cant find a ntfs compatible version for 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 either

 

any help would be appreciated

Code:
yum install kmod-ntfs




 

im not completely sure about the first question, since you didnt mention the arch you are using.

you could always download source from kernel.org

Arch does not matter when its about the source.

 

This is the RPM your looking for:

i toyed around for a bit and i did a rpm -ivh command so i expected to find another entry in GRUB but it was the same entry. ntfs works now i just expected to find a new kernel installed. was it overwritten?

 

and about my first question earlier, i have kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp. i need a source rpm for it but all ive found it kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.src.rpm when i need kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.src.rpm correct?

 

or can i just use the non-SMP version?

Actually, when we are talking about source rpms, there are no different architectures (Since its not compiled), so kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.src.rpm is the rpm you need :)

No .. you installed a kernel module, that is basically an extension to the existing kernel. No need for reboots to make them work either .. nice eh ?
