I'm having trouble updating my iscsitarget modules, and it seems to be
related to a naming convention mixup?
here's the output of the build command:
[root@vmhost ~]# rpmbuild --rebuild --sign
iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm
Installing iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.src.rpm
error: Failed build dependencies:
kernel-devel = 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge is needed by
iscsitarget-0.4.14.96-0.amherst.x86_64
here's everything my system knows about kernels:
[root@vmhost ~]# rpm -qa|grep kernel
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.83
kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL
kernel-largesmp-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
iscsitarget-kernel-smp-0.4.14.78-2.amherst_2.6.9_42.0.8.EL
kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
the kernel I'm currently running:
[root@vmhost ~]# uname -a
Linux vmhost 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27 09:59:08 EST
2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
kernel-devel-2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge doesn't seem to exist. but I did
find kernel-largesmp-devel, but that didn't help
I'm not sure I need to run the largesmp kernel, but it does seem to
gain me an extra gigabyte of ram when I run the "free" command. This
box has a single quadcore xeon and 16 gigs of ram in it.
Any thoughts or suggestions from the list?
My guess is that some logic in the spec file is getting your running
kernel wrong ...
Install the SRPM and have a look at the spec file - my guess it is
doing some sed'ing, awk'ing or grep'ing on the kernel version and it
getting wrong - may be it doesn't support 'largesmp' ??
I suggest you use the 'normal' smp kernel - I believe the largesmp
kernel is for machines with 8 or more CPUs/cores
