Installing fedora kernel source

[dissk]

Hi!

I am running a fresh FC17 install and need to patch and recompile my kernel for RT functionality. The RT patches only comes for some versions (patch-3.4.10-rt18.patch.gz being the latest one).

I tried to follow this guide

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Buildi...Get_the_Source

to get the Fedora kernel source, but it does not explain how to get a specific kernel version. The command used in the guide (yumdownloader --source kernel) will download kernel 3.5.something for me, which cannot be used with the RT patch. How do I specify the command to download the source for kernel version 3.4.10?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...in_Fedora.html which is also available for Fedora 17.

well, if you wish to download the source for a specific kernel version (assuming it is still in the repos) you just put the entire package name (along with version) instead of just kernel.

For example, to download the source for 3.5.0-4 for Fedora 17,

yumdownloader --source kernel-3.5.0-4.fc17.src.rpm

Or you can just go over to koji and select whichever you want, just drill down for what version. then source is in the src directory, the kernels are in either the i386 or x86_64 directory depending upon which you want.

Thank you. I got this one running as a temporary solution, because I will still need to compile my own kernel at some point.
