The I_need_the_Kernel_Source wiki article should have instructions to do the procedure as non-root. Installing the source as root may not be as dangerous as compiling something, but nevertheless it is not recommended and is not consistent with the contents of other related articles. Akemi

Hi I want to build a small rootfs for 32 bit CentOS to the same I plan to build the entire OS but I see https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source kernel_build for 32 bit is not supported . Please let me know anybody has built the same Thanks Kavitha

Hi all I'm looking for the linux source files for CentOS 5.1 2.6.18-53.el5. To install VirtualBox, I apparently need the kernel sources, and even after installing kernel-devel & kernel-headers via yum I still get an error saying I need the kernel-sources [root at gimbli ~]# ll /usr/src/kernels/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Mar 4 10:57 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5-x86_64 lrwxrwxrwx 1

Hello, As discussed on the centos-users list, I would like to create some pages on the CentOS Wiki with instructions on how to set up your environment to build RPMs and how to rebuild RPMs. This content today exists here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786df9f6f8c918eff16bf67be0d I would suggest creating these two: 1) http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM -> what SRPMs are, how to download them, how to install them, how to rebuild them -> link to the other page on how to set up your rpm-build environment 2) http://...

Hey there, I'm trying to compile a single module following this guide: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules#head-d2e4c05886f94c701e4ae74387d41d8c40c25d01 and https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source I tried to compile a module for novuton led controller supplied by thirdparty and I got several error. To check if this is the wrong procedure I tried to compile cifs module as listed in howto but when loading with modprobe I get "Exec format error", and from dmesg "cifs: no sy...

Dear Akemi, I'm really ashamed, in "https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source" I've missed the last 5 lines following the CentOS5 section. All is now clear for me on the process to follow to build a new kernel from source rpm and the CONFIG_NUMA_EMU option is active. I've set it with make menuconfig to avoid some additional mistakes in the config file. How...

I installed the prerequisites and downloaded the kernel sources as detailed in section 2 of https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source. But on https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, section 2, all goes wrong! My ~/rpmbuild/BUILD directory is empty! No configs directory too.

...5, and RH has changed their kernel packaging since then. I've been banging my head on this off and on for quite a while, now. I've mucked with Gentoo and Debian packaging, but kernel RPMs are a new one for me...

I have a driver that requires installing the kernel sources (into my own rpmbuild tree, not the system) prior to compiling. I followed the info for centos6 here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786df9f6f8c918eff16bf67be0d I can successfully compile and install the module from tarball after manually prepping the kernel sources, but I need to turn this into a proper RPM and am wondering if there are macros I'm not seeing for how to prep the kernel sources as part of...

...ILD/kernel-2.6.18: linux-2.16.18.i386 and linux-2.16.18.i686 So which one am I suppose to be patching? Currently, the patch starts out with: diff -urN a/net/ipv4/xfrm4_input.c b/net/ipv4/xfrm4_input.c I followed the kernel source setup instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source tells me to supply i686 for getting and setting up the source. But http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel has me setting up a .config file with '# i386' as the first line. Now that is a comment, right? So why add such a comment. Perhaps it is NOT a comment? Shesh... Anyway, w...

Dear Laurentiu, Agree with Johnny for kernel upgrade if upgrade helps, alternative if 3.10 or above already supported it, you can check from kernel parameter or options if they are disabled on purpose. You can do that via the "make menuconfig" via "https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source" or "https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules". Hope that helps!
