You will need to grab the following src.rpm packages from rawhide, recompile them, and install them in order to be able to install rawhide kernels without unsatisfied dependencies: MAKEDEV (and the dev package that is produced by recompiling the MAKEDEV src.rpm) modutils initscripts > Will the new kernel-headers be needed for something, like compiling > third party kernel modules (like avfs and alsa) for the new kernel, > or can I just disregard it? kernel-headers are used in conjunction with glibc-devel to allow you to compile period. kernel-headers should not be used to compile external kernel modules. There is really no need to upgrade kernel-headers in your situation. > > Thanks. > > Romildo > -- > Prof. José Romildo Malaquias Departamento de Computação > http://iceb.ufop.br/~romildo Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brasil > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
