Please, excuse me if it isn't the right list, and for my bad english...

I have a 10.3 beta-2 (upgraded today at 15:30 GMT+2), with kernel-source and linux-kernel-headers installed. The problem is when I try to install the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run driver, because I obtain every time this error:

The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.22.3-7-bigsmp/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does not exist...

Anybody could help me, please?

You have to prepare the kernel sources for you configuration. Running

cd /usr/src/linux make cloneconfig make prepare-all

should do it.

Cheers Herbert

rpm -q kernel-smp kernel-source

That's

rpm -q kernel-default kernel-source

kernel-default *is* the SMP kernel.

do from cl:

Excuse me but, what would you say with "cl"? shell/prompt?

rpm -q kernel-smp kernel-source to see that you do have the *same* versions installed

also be sure that kernel-smp and kernel-source match in architecture (i586/x86_64)

Perfect. Also, i will try this.

aiui, linux-kernel-headers is not required for the NV... install.

Ok. Thank you very much!!

You indicated that you used kernel-smp, but Philipp Thomas says that kernel-default is SMP, so....

It was 'bigsmp' in error report

...

The kernel header file '/lib/modules/2.6.22.3-7-bigsmp/build/include/linux/kernel.h' does not exist...

But there is another question, is it necessary 'bigsmp'. TooMany Secrets should have a big machine (> 4GB RAM, etc) to need it.

My kernel is a kernel-smp (default installation into a pentium 4 with HT). My workstation is a Dell Precision 380.

No, it is an SMP kernel, but the package it comes from is kernel-default, as there is no kernel-smp package in 10.3. Just do a

rpm -qa|fgrep kernel

and you'll see for yourself.
