Hi, I think you're right, I got it after I enabled: # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Sources.repo [...] [base-source] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base Sources baseurl=http://vault.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/Source/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7 [...] Then I ran: # yumdownloader --source kernel.src Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Enabling centos-sclo-rh-source repository Enabling epel-source repository Enabling updates-source repository Enabling centos-sclo-sclo-source repository Enabling extras-source repository Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile epel/x86_64/metalink | 31 kB 00:00:00 epel-source/x86_64/metalink | 29 kB 00:00:00 * base: mirror.imt-systems.com * centos-sclo-rh: ftp.agdsn.de * centos-sclo-sclo: de.mirrors.clouvider.net * epel: fedora.tu-chemnitz.de * epel-source: fedora.tu-chemnitz.de * extras: mirror.imt-systems.com * updates: mirror.scaleuptech.com base | 3.6 kB 00:00:00 base-source | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 centos-sclo-rh | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 centos-sclo-rh-source | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 centos-sclo-sclo | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 centos-sclo-sclo-source | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 extras | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 extras-source | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 updates | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 updates-source | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 Delta RPMs disabled because /usr/bin/applydeltarpm not installed. kernel-4.18.0-348.20.1.el7.src.rpm | 121 MB 00:00:01 This version is too recent I think. I'm not sure why it's there? I then manually downloaded this version, it looks like it's working better: wget https://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/os/Source/SPackages/kernel-3.10.0-1160.el7.src.rpm Regards, Marco Passerini ________________________________ From: CentOS <centos-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx> on behalf of Phil Perry <pperry@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2022 5:46:15 PM To: centos@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Kernel rebuild failling on Centos 7: missing libbpf-devel and dwarves rpm too old On 19/04/2022 15:56, Passerini Marco wrote: > Hi, > > > I'm trying to rebuild the kernel specifically on Centos7 from src.rpm but some packages are missing or too old.
