Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 402831
Unable to compile kernel
Last modified: 2008-08-06 16:56:01 EDT
Description of problem: not able to compile modules for installed kernel Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Install script?? How reproducible: every time same results - Very Conclusion: I think Anaconda is being tripped up by the AMD Athlon XP chip and the devel package is not being installed. I did try installing the kernel-devel i686 package but it still didn't work. I did try installing Fedora 7.91 and it worked properly on the AMD Athlon. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora 8 DVD on system with AMD Athlon XP CPU 2. 3. Actual results: devel files are not installed for kernel installed. Expected results: devel files are installed for kernel installed. Additional info: Systems used: Desktop: Asus A7V8X-X AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 512M RAM DDR1 NVidia MX 440 w/ AGP 8x 64M Laptop: Dell Inspiron 8600 Intel Pentium M 1.4 GHz 256M RAM DDR1 NVidia Go 5200 32M After installing Fedora 8 on the desktop I noticed that when I went to install the NVidia drivers it reported that the headers/devel package wasn't installed. When I went to disable the firewall it reported that it wasn't able to uninstall the module. I next tried installing it on the laptop and did not get any error when disabling the firewall, The NVidia driver installed with out any complaints, and the source files where properly installed at /usr/src/kernels/2.6.23.1-42.fc8-i686
Which kernel packages do you have installed (rpm -qa kernel\*)? Did you select the development group to make sure that gcc was installed? Can you attach /var/log/anaconda.log and /root/install.log to this bug report?
