CentOS - Apr 2007 - Via C3 and CentOS5

Dear friends:

Using Centos 5.

I am trying to install the VmWare Server in my Centos 5 in order to install 
Windows XP. I am asked for the location of the C header files directory:

"What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your 
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]"

I would very much appreciate your help. Please be precise.

Thank you.

Benjamin

Hi,

I have an Asus terminator C3 with 512Mb. It has a Via P3-800Mhz
CPU, with a VIA chipset. It's currently running FC6. I wanted to
wipe the machine and install CentOS5. 

It boots from the CD to the linux prompt, then it fully loads 
vmlinux, then starts initrd.img, and somewhere at that point it
reboots.

I have tried: noapic, noapm, noprobe. Same, somewhere during
initrd.img or at then end of it [it's half way through the dots on
the second line] it reboots.

What I don't understand is it works with FC6!

Any suggestion?

There is no i586 kernel yet for CentOS 5 - if your CPU doesn't support
the cmov instruction, you're a bit out of luck there at the moment.

Once kernel-devel is installed, the vmware install should pick up the correct 
directory automatically.  At least it does here.

as Ralph has already pointed out - there is no i586 support at this
time, but we are working on it and hope to have some form of an
alternatives CD installer available soon ( maybe a couple of weeks )
