Hello Marc, so here comes the "howto": 1.) open a console and become superuser. Change to the directory where the downloaded kernel-*.rpm's from the download are. 2.) check which kernels are installed: rpm -qa | grep "^kernel" The result should look similar to this: djunix:/home/src/kernel/Hamradio-addon # rpm -qa | grep "^kernel" kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.x86_64 kernel-firmware-20200107-lp151.2.12.1.noarch kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.44.1.x86_64 djunix:/home/src/kernel/Hamradio-addon # You can safely forget about the 28.44.1. The most recent one should be kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.48.1.x86_64 If you have more kernel-* - files installed please let me know! 3.) now you can upgrade (still assuming that you are in the directory with the downloaded files): rpm -Uhv kernel-default-4.12.14-lp151.28.50.1.x86_64.rpm this will take a while, dracut will build a new initrd. Please reboot, this ought to work smoothly (I very much hope though cannot guarantee!) Then you should load the mkiss.ko - module by doing a modprobe mkiss as superuser and you ought to be fine. You can find it in the directory /lib/modules/4.12.14-lp151.28.50.1-default/kernel/drivers/net/hamradio but you do not need to go there. Hope everything runs fine! In case of _any_ deviation in the procedure described above, _any_ error message please write an email. And, on top of this, please retest my email address - I assume you accidentally made a typo .... somewhere. I am not aware of one single person not being able to send emails to me - but you :-(. Take care, Dieter Am Montag, 4. Mai 2020, 17:21:56 CEST schrieb Marc Chamberlin:
Hello Dieter How kind of you! Yes I would take you up on your offer, I think that would make it much easier for me. I have never tried building
