CentOS - Jun 2010 - CentOS 5.3 Xen installation trouble installing FUSE

Hi,

I've got CentOS 5.3 installed as a Xen client installed. I've recently
been
trying to install TrueCrypt on the VM, but am having miserable troubles with 
the Fuse kernel module.

To date, I've installed the following packages:
yum install truecrypt
yum install fuse

However, to launch the fuse module, I need the dkms_autoinstaller running. 
However, when I try to start the dkms_autoinstaller service I get the 
following error messages:

Jun 28 23:31:57 charliebrown dkms_autoinstaller: fuse (2.7.4-1.nodist.rf): 
Installing module on kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5xen.
Jun 28 23:31:57 charliebrown dkms_autoinstaller: Kernel headers for 
2.6.18-128.2.1.el5xen are not installed. Cannot install this module.
Jun 28 23:31:57 charliebrown dkms_autoinstaller: Try installing 
linux-headers-2.6.18-128.2.1.el5xen or equivalent.

Indeed, the kernel modules available in yum are for 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5. I 
fished around, and found a kernel-headers package for 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5 
(http://137.138.246.63/cern/slc5X/x86_64/yum/updates/repoview/kernel-headers.html).

I downloaded the RPM, and downgraded my kernel-headers package. So I now 
have the kernel-headers package for 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5 installed. However, 
when I try to start the dkms_autoinstaller, I still get the same error 
message indicating that the Kernel headers for 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5xen are not 
installed.

Where can I find this package? They aren't on the Citrix repos. From the few
threads I've read, ppl are suggested to download a DDK VM to build new 
modules, etc, but that still won't help me, as I need the headers on the 
actual machine to run the dkms_autoinstaller service.

I'm currently stuck / lost. Any help / suggestions would be greatly 
appreciated!

Thanks,

Eric

Do you have any particular reason why you cannot update to the current
5.5?  5.3 is so ancient and has many known security bugs.  CentOS 5.4
and later would have kernel support for fuse.

If you must stay with 5.3 for some reason, then install kmod-fuse from
ElRepo ( http://elrepo.org ).

If you still want to use dkms, then you would need to install
kernel-devel (not kernel-headers).

Hope this helps,
