Re: [newbie] Kernel SOurce
Hello, I am trying to work with version 9.1 with respect to device driver development and I chose to install kernel source upon installation but I cannot find ANY .c file. The headers are there, but none of the .c's. When I searched I was logged in as root user, searching from the / directory and I issued the following command: Find -name swapfile.c -mount This is the same for all .c files. Can anyone enlighten me as to where the source code is at? Thanks. Try /usr/src/linux - it should be a symlink to the real source directory tree in /usr/src. The actualy .c files are spread amoung different subdirectories branching from there. The drivers are fairly well devided up by type, with some drivers having their own subdirectory...

Hi guys, thanks for the responses. I checked in /usr/src/linux before I wrote to the list and there were no symlinks and there were no /usr/src/name_of_kernel-source.mdk either. I went back to my install of 10.0 and verified that it should be there so I am assuming that even though I selected to install kernel sources, it didn't.

Thanks, Sevatio Hi Sevatio. The kernel-source-2.x.x.rpm file is the one you want for building other files which depend on the kernel header files - that's the source code that was actually used to build the kernel, in a ready to install module. What you do with that source is pretty much up to you. The kernel-2.x.x.src.rpm file is used to actually build the RPM's which make up the kernels for your system PLUS the kernel-source RPM. When you rebuild it using rpmbuild, it will generate a regular kernel, an SMP kernel, an enterprise kernel, a kernel capable of handling memory up to 4 gigs, and the RPM file for the kernel-source as well. So, for the sake of simplicity, you want the kernel-source. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Kernel source question...
Hi, I don't know if it will solve your problem, but it is worth to try. Take a look at the README file provided by Nvidia's tarball. If I remember correctly, you have to pass an argument, like make SYSINCLUDE=/path-to-your-kernel-sources-include-directory, when you compile the driver for a different kernel. Before doing it, you have to install kernel-sources and kernel-headers. You can also get the source rpms from Nvidia's website, they worked fine for me. Hope it helps you, regards, Rodrigo Ronald J.

Re: [newbie] Kernel Source
Hey Riker, I'm taking my first stab at messing with the Kernel. Such as recompiling and then I'm going to compile a new kernel. The problem I'm having now is that the kernel source wasn't installed during the install. Is there a way to install the source kernel so I can do things such as `make xconfig' and the like? I may be recompiling soon because I'm wiping my W2k replacing it with W98, so I had to install the kernel the kernel headers too. I don't remember reading if lm7.0 or 7.1 (don't know which version you have, I came from RH to lm7.2) has drakconf (think so, though). Anyway, if you ~do~ have drakconf, open it use the Software Update icon. In there, you set it to read from CD (or, you can get it from one of the mirrors), choose both the kernel source kernel headers (can't remember if the headers are actually needed for recompiling. I'm pretty sure, but they don't take all that much space some apps will need them if you install from tar). Then, just go to the directory where they install to start your make xconfig.
