F9 - compile source code

sd-user · #1 29th July 2008, 06:09 AM

Hi all:

Does anyone know how to install the Fedora 9 linux kernel sources? I am running an AMD x64 with kernel 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64. This is my older version. I am doing testing on the old kernel because I don't want something to go wrong with my more updated stable version - so please let me know if it is a kernel version problem.

I followed the guide here:

http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f9.html

And followed "Obtaining Kernel Source through 'yum' (for latest Fedora 9 kernel)" - yet, I don't think the source compiled correctly. This is a snippet of the output I receive (if anyone knows how to post the entire bit, let me know - I'm over my character limit):

Is is possible there is no source code package for an x64 system? Would it be easier to download and install the Fedora-9-source-DVD.torrent from http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/? Would the source be install automatically? I'm assuming that version of Fedora 9 is not x64 based? Any suggestions?

Many thanks - SD

Hello:
If you are going to do some compiling then you should at least do the following.
Assuming you have an internet connection

yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Legacy Software Development"

The kernel "source" is the matching kernel-devel rpm package
You can grab that here : http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/release...fc9.x86_64.rpm
and install it using rpm -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64.rpm
