can564 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I have been told that I might need to "configure the kernel sources against the installed kernel " and that "kernel sources are not usually pre-configured". My kernel and sources match as far as version #.What is this configuring, and how do I configure them? This is my output of kernel and kernel-source [ryan@192 ryan]$ su Password: [root@192 ryan]# rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk kernel-2.6.8.1.10mdk-1-1mdk [root@192 ryan]# [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowator Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 can you post a uname -r lets check its actually the version it thinks! then see if there is a .config in /usr/src/linux (use ls -a) then check its the same as the one in /boot diff /usr/src/linux/.config /boot/.config Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can564 Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Well I am not having problems right now.However I did run into troubles loading the Nvidia drivers.In a post someone said to make sure to configure my kernel-sources and kernel. That was not the problem obviously seeing as I don't know what it means.I thought I might thro it out there and see what it meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
