https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331603 Summary: /usr/src/linux sym-link Missing Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: snakedriverx@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer On both my laptop and desktop (both x86-64), I found that the /usr/src/linux sym-link that was supposed to be written when kernel-source was installed is missing. I found this by issuing the command "cd /usr/src/linux" and getting the response that there was no file or directory named "linux". Checked it by doing: jim@am2:~> cd /usr/src jim@am2:/usr/src> ls -l total 12 drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 2007-10-04 16:30 linux-2.6.22.5-31 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-09-24 14:11 linux-2.6.22.5-31-obj drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2007-10-04 16:43 packages jim@am2:/usr/src> "linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.22.5-31" is not present.
