First mistake. Never use -Uvh for kernel packages. Always use -ivh to install them in addition to existing kernel packages. That way you make sure you keep the currently running kernel and its modules complete. Once you rebooted a new kernel and are satisfied with it, you can rpm --erase old kernel packages. Run rpm --query kernel to list the installed kernel packages. > Currently is has kernel version 2.4.20-30.8 legacy . > > Now as I try to re-install sound by install the following , I get library > error . > > I have downloaded and unzipped the below files. > > > alsa-driver-1.0.8 > alsa-lib-1.0.8 > alsa-oss-1.0.8 > alsa-tools-1.0.8 > alsa-utils-1.0.8 > oss > > > > Now when I run make command it gives the following error. > > cd alsa-driver-1.0.8 > ./configure -->no error > ./make ----> the following error > make[1]: *** No rule to make target Not enough information. > `/lib/modules/2.4.18-14/build/include/linux/config.h', needed by > `memalloc.o'.

What does "ls -la /boot" say? -- Fedora Core release Rawhide (Rawhide) - Linux 2.6.10-1.1155_FC4 loadavg: 0.10 0.06 0.07 Hi ! Thank you for the prompt reply . I did "ls -la /boot " The result is as follows :- total 22048 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 25 10:49 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Mar 1 09:15 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5824 Sep 5 2002 boot.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 612 Sep 5 2002 chain.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38724 Dec 12 2002 config-2.4.18-19.8.0uml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44762 Feb 20 2004 config-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44855 Feb 20 2004 config-2.4.20-30.8.legacybigmem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54321 Feb 20 2004 config-2.4.20-30.8.legacyBOOT -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 44814 Feb 20 2004 config-2.4.20-30.8.legacysmp drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 4 23:02 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 133424 Feb 4 23:00 initrd-2.4.20-30.8.legacybigmem.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 125898 Feb 4 23:01 initrd-2.4.20-30.8.legacyBOOT.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 130032 Feb 4 22:59 initrd-2.4.20-30.8.legacy.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 132904 Feb 4 23:02 initrd-2.4.20-30.8.legacysmp.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 473 Feb 25 10:49 kernel.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23108 Sep 6 2002 message -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21282 Sep 6 2002 message.ja lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Feb 4 22:59 module-info -> module-info-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15436 Dec 12 2002 module-info-2.4.18-19.8.0uml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15438 Feb 20 2004 module-info-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15438 Feb 20 2004 module-info-2.4.20-30.8.legacybigmem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15438 Feb 20 2004 module-info-2.4.20-30.8.legacysmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 640 Sep 5 2002 os2_d.b lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Feb 25 10:49 System.map -> System.map-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 342101 Dec 12 2002 System.map-2.4.18-19.8.0uml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 519482 Feb 20 2004 System.map-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 545075 Feb 20 2004 System.map-2.4.20-30.8.legacybigmem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 329824 Feb 20 2004 System.map-2.4.20-30.8.legacyBOOT -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 545040 Feb 20 2004 System.map-2.4.20-30.8.legacysmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3175842 Feb 20 2004 vmlinux-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3543628 Feb 20 2004 vmlinux-2.4.20-30.8.legacybigmem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2121837 Feb 20 2004 vmlinux-2.4.20-30.8.legacyBOOT -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3539492 Feb 20 2004 vmlinux-2.4.20-30.8.legacysmp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Feb 4 22:59 vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2496380 Dec 12 2002 vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0uml -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1122342 Feb 20 2004 vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.8.legacy -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1208342 Feb 20 2004 vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.8.legacybigmem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 852938 Feb 20 2004 vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.8.legacyBOOT -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1206648 Feb 20 2004 vmlinuz-2.4.20-30.8.legacysmp I also did "rpm -query kernel " & "rpm -q kernel-source " both gives kernel-2.4.20-30.8.legacy and kernel-2.4.20-30.8.legacy source . The uname -a does return Linux home 2.4.20-30.8.legacy #1 Fri Feb 20 17:47:48 PST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux . So everything does point to kernel -2.4.20-30.8 legacy . I did boot in the new kernel. So why do you think the error occured . I plan to try out rpm -ivh instead of the upgrade.
