Where can I Find 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc5.2.1mnb build and headers?

iro_number1 · 09-21-2008, 11:26 AM

I'm trying to install Virtual Box but during installation it asks for the build and headers for 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc5.2.1mnb kernel. I cannot find them in the Repository...

Mandriva 2009 RC1

Any nice people out there who want to share some knowledge?

The package name is 1) 'kernel-desktop-devel' to get "build"
and 2) 'kernel-headers'

They are Installed.....

When I try to run the installer I get:

Code:

[root@localhost iro]# /home/iro/Desktop/VirtualBox-2.0.2-36488-Linux_x86.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation........
VirtualBox Version 2.0.2 (2008-09-12T13:39:17Z) installer
Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel.
The current kernel version is 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc5.2.1mnb
Problems were found which would prevent VirtualBox from installing.
Please correct these problems and try again.
[root@localhost iro]#

maybe my repository is set-up wrong?

This is from Mandriva 2008.1 Spring

Quote:

'rpm -qa | grep kernel'
kernel-desktop-devel-latest-2.6.24.5-2mnb1
kernel-desktop-2.6.24.4-1mnb-1-1mnb1
kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.24.5-2mnb-1-1mnb1
kernel-headers-2.6.24-6mnb1
kernel-desktop-latest-2.6.24.4-1mnb1
** kernel-source-2.6.24.4-1mnb-1-1mnb1 **
kernel-desktop-2.6.24.5-2mnb-1-1mnb1

'uname -a'
2.6.24.5-desktop-2mnb

May be you also need the 'kernel-source-2.6.xx.x-x...'
And take care that the version is the same as the running
kernel, hence the 'uname -a' command.

And just for information :
"build" is the link "/lib/modules/"uname -a"/build" pointing
to the correct version in /usr/src/linux---

I found a newer Kernel in the Repository and installed it and it seems to be working now.

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# /home/iro/Desktop/VirtualBox-2.0.2-36488-Linux_x86.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox for Linux installation........
VirtualBox Version 2.0.2 (2008-09-12T13:39:17Z) installer
Installing VirtualBox to /opt/VirtualBox-2.0.2
Building the VirtualBox kernel module

VirtualBox has been installed successfully.

You will find useful information about using VirtualBox in the user manual
  /opt/VirtualBox-2.0.2/UserManual.pdf
and in the user FAQ
  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ

We hope that you enjoy using VirtualBox.
