Just purchased Beginning RHL 9.
In Chapter 10 on rebuilding the kernel there is reference to the source being located in /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-6.
It is not there. I started over and completely reloaded just in case something went wrong, but, same results.

Also, I can't install driver software because the config.h is missing from the same dir.

Also, RedHat's docs refer to the same directory.

Can anyone help?
Thanks
Joe

Joe,

You need to install the Kernel-Source package but it's not on the CD-ROMS! However, you can download it from here (assuming the kernel is the same build as mine)...

http://fr2.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/so...20-6.i386.html

Not sure if you know how to install RPMs so just ignore this if you do. Save the RPM into a folder (e.g. /home/me) and then open a Terminal Window. Use the 'cd /home/me' command to switch to this folder. Then run this command to install the package ...

rpm -U kernel-source-2.4.20-6.i386.rpm

You should now be okay.

Thanks Kenny,

After a lot of wasted time I found this out.

I am disappointed that the book didn't make this clear.
