Re: [Wlug] Fedora Core 6 kernel source???

I solved my Fedora Core 6 sound card problem. I found and rpm'd these files: alsa-driver-1.0.13-56.fc6.at.i386.rpm alsa-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6-1.0.13-56.fc6.at.i586.rpm For some reason alsa files are not part of: <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/> Similarly my 'yum' can not find them. Now I can not remember where I did find them. Why was this so difficult? What is it that I do not understand about the Fedora packages? Some folks told me that ALSA was part of Core 6. I was using ALSA with Core 4. I thank you all for your efforts :-) Ken Jones

Further info on my Core 6 problems

When I first installed CORE 6 it booted just fine. Now it hangs and gives the message snipped below. If I do [CNTRL C] it finishes. It says that it can not find Linux/version.h where it thinks it should be. I have erased the kernel-devel package. Why is it trying to compile? It is referring to a SMP version. I do not see the string SMP anywhere in the REDHAT download page <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/>. What do you think is going on? Ken Jones ---------------start snip---------- No prebuilt modules for: Fedora - 6 linux-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.i686-SMP. Trying to automatically build the driver modules. (This requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed) WARNING - Missing file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h. The cause of this is usually a missing or unconfigured kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link.) However, proper /boot/config-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 was found. ---------------end snip----------- As I said. At this point the little spinning icon is busy. The progression bar is not progressing. CNTRL-C initiales a successful finish of the boot. Ken Jones

Mythtv Packages
by Chuck Noyes 05 Dec '06

05 Dec '06

Hi All, I'm trying to build a Mythtv box, and I'd like to know where I can find either the 0.19 or 0.20 Mythtv packages for Ubuntu "Dapper". I've looked around and all I can find are the 0.18 packages. The 0.19 version has been out for a while and I guess the 0.20 version is still sort of 'bleeding' edge. So there probably isn't a "Dapper" package for that yet. Thanks, -- -Chuck

My problem is that I understand the details of neither the kernel nor the sound card. I think everyone's advice is to: [rpm -e kernel-devel] and [rpm -ihv kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.src.rpm]. The try again according to the alsa WEB page. Sound right? Ken

Fedora Core 6 kernel source???

I have a SoundBlaster Live sound card. The driver is emu10k1. ALSA provides some modules that need to be built into the kernel. No matter what I do the builds can not find the appropriate version.h file. I am trying to build the kernel from kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6. Previous Core versions provided a kernel-source rpm. Core 6 does not. This time it is called kernel-devel. Something is very different. Can any of you point me to a cook book level WEB page that will point my way... -----------------snip example of trouble------------ checking for directory with kernel source... /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/source checking for directory with kernel build... /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/build checking for kernel version... The file /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/source/include/linux/version.h does not exist. Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel sources (default is /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2849.fc6/source). ------------end snip------------------ I tried the --with-kernel=dir option.
