Help installing DRBD on Fedora 12

[NetEngineer]

I'm trying to build a Fedora 12 cluster to run DHCP on top of two servers using pacemaker and drbd. The pacemaker runs great but i'm having the hardest time getting DRBD installed.

My kernel version is

2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE

First i tried to

[root@dhcp-primary drbd]#yum install drbd

this doesn't give me everything because apparently the kernel module for DRBD must be built from source.

so i unpacked drbd-8.3.6.tar.gz and tried :

[root@dhcp-primary drbd]# make

Calling toplevel makefile of kernel source tree, which I believe is in
KDIR=/lib/modules/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE/source

SORRY, kernel makefile not found. You need to tell me a correct KDIR!

Then I tried :

[root@dhcp-primary drbd]#make 'KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/'

Calling toplevel makefile of kernel source tree, which I believe is in
KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/

test -f ../scripts/adjust_drbd_config_h.sh && \
KDIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/ O= /bin/bash ../scripts/adjust_drbd_config_h.sh
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686 /drbd-8.3.6/drbd /drbd-8.3.6/drbd

Using unmodified drbd_config.h

make -C /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686/ SUBDIRS=/drbd-8.3.6/drbd modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686'

Which gives me errors. I tried updating the linux kernel and the kernel headers and devel with no success.


I'm not very experienced in compiling from source....i'd love to make an rpm for this but after scouring the web and trying different install methods, I am still at a loss. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

I'd contact the drbd folks. Though one quick thought. Are you trying to compile a 64 bit version of drbd on a 32 FC12 distro?
