Hi everyone,

just upgraded the kernel-default package to version 2.6.16.20-1.1. Unfortunately the kernel-source package extracted the src into /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-20.1. This is a problem for several third party programs which try to determine the src path by the running kernel (name).

This doesn't really help you, but those programs are broken and should be fixed by their maintainers. The only reliably correct way to get to the kernel source is through the symlink in the /lib/modules directory (now that must be named the same as the kernel, otherwise nothing will work)

...

The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.16.20-20.1-default) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.16.20-1.1-default). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

That should be solved by editing the top level Makefile in the source directory

I had the kernel-syms rpm installed, and I had no issues with nvidia nor vmware, I guess that fits with what Anders is saying.

Did you try to install nvidia's driver or just use the nv driver provided stock?

The nvidia driver. I used the tiny-nvidia-installer --update command from a init3 login, if that should make any difference.

The source symlink in /lib/modules/2.6.16.20-1.1-default is broken! It points to /usr/src/linux-2.6.16.20-1.1 which does not exist.

So it's a bug of the kernel-default or kernel-source package?

It seems the problem is that the repo is out of sync. I just downloaded the kernel myself, and I didn't see the same issue, I got both kernel and source 2.6.16.21-0.4 -- Ut supra post festum sunt obscura --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org

Well, fwdg.de is out of sync, then:

kernel-source is 2.6.16.20-20.1.x86_64.rpm and all others 2.6.16.20-1.1.x86_64.rpm

and

kernel-source is 2.6.16.20-20.1.i586.rpm and all others 2.6.16.20-1.1.i586.rpm

don't see 2.6.16.21

I'm using http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/Kernel/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ and there are no new kernel* packages today. So I guess I have the newest versions and everything is in sync. What now? -- Sincerely Sven Jacobs
