From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: I did a 'yum update' this evening that installed kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 on my AMD64 system. After the update I tried to install my Nvidia drivers, which failed due to missing kernel source. Previous kernel updates have created a build directory, i.e. /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.35_FC3/build that contains the needed headers. The kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 created a symlink in /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/: build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3-x86_64 which points to a nonexistent directory. Without these headers, the drivers cannot be compiled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum update to kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 2. look in /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/ 3. build directory has been replaced with a symlink Actual Results: build directory has been replaced with a symlink Expected Results: build directory should contain correct kernel headers Additional info:
