FYI, RedHat has not provided the kernel source during the installation phase
of FC-3. If you want to install it, the following ways are recommended from
the README file :
In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a separate package
for the kernel source code when that source code already exists in the
kernel's .src.rpm file, Fedora Core 3 no longer includes the kernel-source
package. Users that require access to the kernel sources can find them in the
kernel .src.rpm file. To create an exploded source tree from this file,
perform the following steps (note that <version> refers to the version
specification for your currently-running kernel):
Obtain the kernel-<version>.src.rpm file from one of the following sources:
The SRPMS directory on the appropriate "SRPMS" CD iso image
The FTP site where you got the kernel package
By running the following command:
up2date --get-source kernel
Install kernel-<version>.src.rpm (given the default RPM configuration, the
files this package contains will be written to /usr/src/redhat/)
Change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/, and issue the following command:
rpmbuild -bp --target=<arch> kernel.spec
(Where <arch> is the desired target architecture.)
On a default RPM configuration, the kernel tree will be
locatedin /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/.
In resulting tree, the configurations for the specific kernels shipped in
Fedora Core 3 are in the /configs/ directory. For example, the i686 SMP
configuration file is named /configs/kernel-<version>-i686-smp.config. Issue
the following command to place the desired configuration file in the proper
place for building:
cp <desired-file> ./.config
Issue the following command:
make oldconfig
You can then proceed as usual.
You can get details about this if you open konqueror... which opens the FC3
Release Notes... where all this is clearly specified.. also don't forget to
install the "udev" update...
