Tonny,
In the example you list you installed the 'kernel' RPM, not the 'kernel-source' package.
That would explain the missing directories.
-n.

i use fedora core1 distribution on my supermicro server (6013T-A) with the new tgm+ board.
the kernel version i use does not support the supermicro superdoctor utility without installing the ic2 driver manually.
this i what i tried.
then i get alot of errors, which this is important
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/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/configs/<...> to /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/.config (3) Do *NOT* 'make dep' or 'make config'.
make: *** [/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/.config] Error 1
so i installed the source for the kernel.
[root@s1-13m833-1 root]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl.src.rpm 1:kernel ########################################### [100%] [root@s1-13m833-1 root]#
so now there should be a directory called lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/configs but there is not ?!?
[root@s1-13m833-1 root]# ls -la /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/configs ls: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/configs: No such file or directory [root@s1-13m833-1 root]# ls -la /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/ ls: /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/build/: No such file or directory [root@s1-13m833-1 root]# ls -la /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/
not even the build directory is there, but there is a symlink called build which is invalid.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jul 20 17:01 build -> ../../../usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl
but in /usr/src there is NO such folder.
[root@s1-13m833-1 src]# ls -la total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 24 18:52 . drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Mar 12 11:29 .. drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Feb 24 18:52 redhat
and there is no folder called "configs" in that path or recursive from that path.
[root@s1-13m833-1 src]# pwd /usr/src [root@s1-13m833-1 src]# find . -name "configs" [root@s1-13m833-1 src]#
could anyone give some advice to get this driver installed, i need it to monitor my sys and cpu temp og my server.
