| 327125 | 2005-02-28 06:13:00 | It _should_ be on the install disc's otherwise (Disc 2 I believe) is this on the the yoper disk? where? i only have one disk. As root: rpm -Uvh kernel-source*.rpm that gave me: error: open of kernel-source-2.6.8.1-3.i686.rpm failed: no such file or directory im stumped :o |

| 327128 | 2005-02-28 06:36:00 | Yup Make a post on the Yoper.com forums asking for the URL for the latest kernel source Download that and do it that way :) Chill. |

| 327129 | 2005-02-28 07:18:00 | done, and im waiting for a reply | Prescott (11) | ||
| 327130 | 2005-03-01 04:09:00 | ok i got a reply and they gave me this link http://www.kernel.org/ which is totaly not handy but its a start, now where are those sources....... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 327131 | 2005-03-01 05:08:00 | Well I just went and read what you had posted on the Yoper forum, and I think you needed to be a bit more specific with your request. Simply asking where you can download the lastest kernel source will tend to get you a url to www.kernel.org Tell them what your current kernel is on Yoper, which you can find out by using this command: uname -r Then ask if there is a RPM of the matching kernel source (or kernel headers) as you need to compile a driver which requires this. You have to have the source/headers for the kernel version you are currently running, which will not be the same as the "latest" kernel available. :) |

| 327133 | 2005-03-03 06:31:00 | ok i got the link (ftp://apt.yoper.com/yoper/version2/RPMS.os/kernel-source-2.6.8.1-7.i686.rpm) and im downloading it as we speak, i didnt expect it to be this big in size, its 83mb, oh well it should be done by the morning. what do i do once i have finshed downloading it? |

| 327134 | 2005-03-03 07:47:00 | Once it is downloaded, open up a root console window in the directory you saved it. Then issue this command: rpm -Uvh kern[hit tab here to autocomplete the file name] That should be it. |
