Not that version. You need kernel-syms 2.6.30, or 2.6.31, whatever is kernel version that you plan to use.
Kernel-syms for 2.6.27 will not pull kernel -devel packages as in 2.6.27 source code contains linux-obj files, and kerenel devel packages don't exist.
Kernel devs moved linux-obj to separate package somewhere during Milestones, as you have 2.6.30 you need the same version kernel-<flavor>-devel package. Where <flavor> is desktop, default, xen etc. <snip> Regards, Rajko

However Rajko, when I ran that last test, I *was* trying to compile figureing that IF I could get a sucessful compile, THEN I could go back to 2.6.30 again. On my 10.3 machine, I have NEVER had to set environment variables OR make symlinks or any such to compile either kernels or the device drivers. So, initially, I only had the source for .30 in an RPM (initially) and installed it via zypper and later from a *.tgz. When it didn't work, I switched to the current src version via YAST and pulled in the SYMs at the same time. Same error. That was when I cried 'HELP' here in the forum. Only then did I try the creation of symlinks (but removed each when it didn't change anything). Yes, I'm confused, probably scatterbrained, (and definitately stupid), but I was following a previously good scenerio copied from my notes from sucesssful compilations on my 10.3 machines. I do appreciate the help and suggestions, but so far, no-go. --- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
