Hi Antonio, I have already d/l and installed the same kernel-devel rpm that you have noted (but not the 'latest' edition -- btw, thanks for taking the trouble of locating them). It's worth another try to d/kl the latest devel rpm-- hopefully it will include the ../build subdirectory! I waded through Mandriva's notes on adding 3rd-party modules, and ran into this: "When compiling the kernel all output files will per default be stored together with the kernel source code. Using the option "make O=output/dir allows you to specify an alternate palce for teh output files (including .config) Example: kernel source code: /usr/src/linux-2.6.N build directory: /home/name/build/kernel " That last line seems to be what I need -- perhaps the rpm that I installed did not have 'make O=. . .' enabled? This brings back old memories . . . when I tried to get HylaFax running under Mandrake 8.0 -- bumped into a bunch of no-go's due to the way Mandrake set up rpms (locating files in unorthodox locations). Hopefully it will work. Thanks - will report outcome!
