Hello,

under CENTOS 6.3 (64) I ran:
yum install kernel-devel
yum install kernel-headers

Then:
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64
make ARCH=x86_64

I got:
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

What am I doing wrong ?
I want to compile the kernel with no changes and then add few components.

Thank you,
Z.V

"kernel-headers" : Provides /usr/include/{ asm/*.h, linux/*.h, etc. etc.}.
See $ rpm -ql kernel-headers
"kernel-headers" : Are the headers that were used for compiling glibc.
Purpose : Used for compiling programs, not kernel.

"kernel-devel" : Are headers, used for compiling a single 3rd party module.

Updating the kernel to "Update level CentOS 6.7" : 10-Nov-2015 ...
# yum install kernel ( Or # yum udate kernel )
... which will also include goodies from later kernel versions, see `Changelog'.


Compiling a new kernel ( Not advisable ) : Use the kernel-source ...

Hello,

Thank you for your help.

According to the ltt-ng guide I have to add few components to the kernel.

The output of "more /proc/version" is:
Linux version 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 (mockbuild@c6b9.bsys.dev.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4) (GCC) )
#1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:19:21 UTC 2012

The link:
http://vault.centos.org/6.3/updates/Source/SPackages/ contains few files:
kernel-2.6.32-279.1.?.el6.src.rpm

which of them I should use ?

I also tried "yum install kernel-source" but got: No Package.
Thank you,
Z.V

Re #3.

Why not use the latest update ?
