I'm still getting "no such file or directory" for the link to the kernel source. Maybe I'm just making a stupid mistake and typing it wrong, but I really don't think so. Is there any other reason the whole

Code:

ln -s /usr/src/linux-<kernel-version> /lib/modules/VERSION/build

thing would give me a no such file or directory?

Do you have the kernel source package installed? You did put your kernel version number in, right?

ananke · 05-29-2006, 12:54 AM

I'm almost certain I have the right kernel source package installed, and yes, I did put my kernel number in. I'm trying a different kernel source package now.

What's actually in /usr/src (type "ls -l /usr/src")?

Does "uname -r" return 2.6.12mdk?

ananke · 05-29-2006, 01:04 AM

Yep
I got the correct kernel, now. Do I need to uninstall the other one, or will this new one take its place or what?

Nylex · 05-29-2006, 01:05 AM

You should be able to uninstall the source for the other kernel with no problems.

ananke · 05-29-2006, 01:21 AM

When I tried to install the new kernel, it said it was already installed.
Just to double check and make sure I'm typing it right, what exactly goes in that code in place of "<kernel-version>" and "VERSION"? (i.e. with kernel version 2.6.12mdk, how exactly should that code look when I type it in?)

You can enter in a partial name. You can also click on the "by description box" to include words from the package description in your search.

Nylex · 05-29-2006, 01:26 AM

Just put `uname -r` in place of "<kernel-version>" and "VERSION". What that does is to run "uname -r", replacing it with the output of that command.

ananke · 05-29-2006, 01:28 AM

Neato ^_^
Still getting a No such file or directory, though.

Nylex · 05-29-2006, 01:35 AM

That's odd, given

It should be working. You didn't accidentaly remove anything did you?

ananke · 05-29-2006, 01:37 AM

I'd hope I'd be aware of removing something. The way Linux is, I'd think it'd be a little hard to accidentally remove anything. So no, to my knowledge, I haven't removed a thing. But, as I said, my install wasn't entirely complete, since disc3 never worked out for me.
Is there a way to create these directories?

Dont need kernel-source if you install the ndiswrapper rpm. Search rpm.pbone for ndiswrapper-1.2-3mdk.i586 and try that. Might save you some grief.
