The broken link points to where the source should be. The broken link isn't a problem, it's used when building kernel modules against the current kernel source. > i do not think the source was built, and so the build sym link was > created broken. some replies to my post suggested installing the i386 > version of the kernel source (rather than the SRPMs version). on > trying this, i still get no dir linux-2.4.18-24.8.0/ being created in > /usr/src If you install kernel-source-2.4.18-24.8.0.i386.rpm, the files will be installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-24.8.0. /usr/src/linux-2.4 will point to that directory.
