Fedora 9 Beta Kernel-source

[flake]

I am trying Fedora 9 64Bit Beta on VMWare and have trouble installing VMWare Tools. The installation was complete and successful but I was asked for kernel source when I am configuring VMWare Tools. I installed kernel devel but then it says that the kernel version does not match the running kernel.

So... how do I find and install kernel source? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

You don't need the kernel source. What you need is kernel-devel package

I tried that and it says kernel version doesn't match the running kernel.

Hi,

You might actually want to check what it says is true then.

# rpm -q kernel kernel-devel. You needn't have more than one kernel installed. Also you might have better luck in the VMWare forum.

Ok... thanks Rahul... I will try again and will add more info if I still have problem.

I installed kernel-devel and run vmware-config-tools and this is what I got:

The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.25-1.fc9.x86_64) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.25-0.121.rc5.git4.fc9). Even if the module were to compile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.

Any idea? Thanks

You have different versions of 'kernel-headers' and 'kernel' packages. Update your kernel to 2.6.25-1.fc9, or downgrade 'kernel-headers' package to 2.6.25-0.121.rc5.git4 version.

Hi kosh, thanks for your reply. How do I do that?
