Hi, In my debian 3 system, i've got no /usr/src/linux directory or symlink. In what situations do i need the kernel source here?
Do the 'generic' kernel compiling/installation instructions such as at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html apply ok to a debian system? Do i need /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm ? Do they need to be the same version as the currently running kernel? (i think on other systems these are provided in the kernel source directly) I found some interesting things from http://www.opensound.com/linux-x86.html : The problem under Debian and SuSE is that the linux kernel is not installed under /usr/src/linux - so you just need to ensure that /usr/src/linux links to the directory containing the Linux kernel sources. Additionally, Debian and SuSE ships with /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm that are directories that are the header files that are used to build Debian or SuSE. These technically should be the header files from the kernel source tree so you really have to remove these directories and link /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm to the kernel source directory. Please follow the steps below. ln -s /usr/src/linux-x.x.x /usr/src/linux (where x.x.x is the kernel version, eg: ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 /usr/src/linux) mv /usr/include/linux /usr/include/linux.orig mv /usr/include/asm /usr/include/asm.orig ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm /usr/include/asm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
