[WBEL-users] newbie - kernel and other upgrades questions

[Alon]

I did read throgh QUICKSTART, but there were no sensor modules available 
earlier, so it didn't pertain to my questions.
Running 'make' produced the same errors (see below)  that I was referring 
to, hence the attempt to install the src.rpm.

I downloaded the src.rpm that matches my current kernel (is it matching? I 
got something a bit different - the smp thingy):
uname -r
2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp

I tried to install the src.rpm (see below), but got a warning, and when I 
checked if it was installed, it appears as NOT:

# rpm -i kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.src.rpm
warning: kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 
db42a60e

# rpm -q kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.src.rpm
package kernel-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.src.rpm is not installed

I'm open for more guidence.


Here are the errors:

Error - missing file /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build/.config !!
  Verify kernel source is in /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build and then
  cd to /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build and run 'make config' !!

Exception: if you're using a stock RedHat/Fedora kernel...
  (1) Install the appropriate kernel-source RPM.
  (2) Copy the appropriate config...
      from /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build/configs/<...>
      to /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp/build/.config
  (3) Do *NOT* 'make dep' or 'make config'.
