looking for kernel sources

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi all

I'm looking for the linux source files for CentOS 5.1 2.6.18-53.el5. To install VirtualBox, I apparently need the kernel sources, and even after installing kernel-devel & kernel-headers via yum I still get an error saying I need the kernel-sources

[root@gimbli ~]# ll /usr/src/kernels/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Mar  4 10:57 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5-x86_64

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root   4096 Mar  4 10:57 usr

From this list of files it seems like yum might have installed the wrong version? Do I simply run yum upgrade kernel, or how do I proceed?
