Hello:

I am trying to build kernel modules on a standard install
of Fedora Core 5 GA. I did select the development block
of packages.

However there do not seem to be any kernel sources available
to build kernel modules.

I tried yum and did a yum look for kernel-source and it came
up with nothing.

Where do I get enough of the kernel source to do compiles
of kernel driver modules?
I think it's called kernel-devel.xxxx Try:

yum search kernel-devel

Yup.  It is kernel-devel.

If you want to build modules (i.e. external modules) for Red Hat distros, install kernel-devel. If you want to build patched, custom kernels, get the SRPM.


Ah, so that's the difference. That was driving me totally nuts. I
couldn't figure out why I couldn't compile the kernel with the
devel package but I'm very successful (when I don't remove too
much) with the kernel sources.
