Okay, let's try to simplify this situation. As previously stated, I am attempting to upgrade my kernel on a LMDK 8.0 box. The Mandrake security recommendation states to upgrade to kernel-2.4.18.8.2mdk-1-3mdk. OK, simple enough, I wget the kernel src rpm, and build my rpm binaries. OK, so far? Now I realize there are is NO kernel headers rpm. My LMDK 8.0 has the upgraded glibc rpms, i.e. glibc-2.2.2-6.1mdk (glibc, profile, and devel included). OK, so far? Now where do I find the version of kernel headers that match my glibc level? And, Charles, are you saying that is must be named kernel-headers with the current glibc version numbers in the name, i.e. kernel-headers-2.2.2-6.1mdk? Mandrake has lost me, please refer me to the documentation on this radical change in building a set of kernel rpms. I have searched high and low only to find nothing, not even on the mandrake kernel upgrade page. Thanks to all who are contributing to this thread. I fear James may be right in saying that mandrake has foobarred us with this new strategy. I hope I am wrong.... drjung -- J.
