vmlinux missing from kernel-xenU-devel
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:17:02 EST
Description of problem: The file vmlinux is missing from kernel-xenU-devel, at least in my build. This means that when I try to build the third-party module loop-aes ( http://loop-aes.sf.net/ ) it fails at the modpost stage. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.10-1.1142_FC4.root How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.10-1.1142_FC4.root 2. rpm -ql kernel-xenU-devel|grep vmlinux Actual results: Only /usr/src/kernels/2.6.10-1.1142_FC4.root-xenU-i686/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h is shown Expected results: vmlinux itself should be included Additional info: I had to rpmbuild from source RPM in order to unselect the Linux kernel's loop driver, which is required for loop-aes to work, according to the loop-aes docs. So I haven't tried this with the RPM built by RH. I got it to work by symlinking the vmlinux from my /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/... directory. But this should not be necessary. It should be included in the -devel rpm.
vmlinux lives in the -debuginfo package. it's also very very unusual for a module build to require this, it smells broken.
