I didn't realize about the need for kernel-devel though, I am going to try and see if everything works correctly if I install kernel-devel. I will double check about the HP Laserjet 5L printer driver issue I was experiencing as well. Bug 163406 >From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: after installing kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 for i686 1. the driver for HP Laserjet 5L seems to be missing, 2. kernel source modules cannot be found for kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 - when I checked the link for /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/build it reported /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/build - when I checked the link for /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/source it reported /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/source - in both cases those locations report back as a symlink redirecting to themselves with no data in the directories. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: after installing kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 for i686 1. the driver for HP Laserjet 5L seems to be missing, kudzu said that I needed to remove the hardware HP Laserjet 5L, which I did. It did not add the printer back. I tried restarting and kudzu did not detect that it had an available driver/module for HP Laserjet 5L while running kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 - I restarted and booted up in kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3 - the hp laserjet 5l was detected by kudzu and installed, no issues. 2. kernel source modules cannot be found for kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 - after installing the kernel I restarted the computer - of course the nvidia module and vmware modules were not working because of the new kernel - I confirmed that I didn't want x to try starting anymore - logged in as root - telinit 3 - when I tried to run vmware-config.pl or nvidia-installer they were both unable to find the kernel source and libraries in order to build new modules for the new kernel - now in all the older kernels the source was found in /lib/modules/"kernel version number"/build/include - when you go into my old kernel folder /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.35_FC3/build all the files are there - when I went into new kernel folder /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 both the build and source directories were symlinked. The thing is they were symlinked back to themselves, like a weird loop. - when I checked the link for /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/build it reported /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/build - when I checked the link for /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/source it reported /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/source - in both cases those locations report back as a symlink redirecting to themselves with no data in the directories. Actual Results: 1. unable to find a driver module for HP Laserjet 5L printer 2. you cannot build third party modules because the kernel source and libraries cannot be found in the expected locations - when I checked the link for /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/build it reported /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/build - when I checked the link for /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/source it reported /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/source - in both cases those locations report back as a symlink redirecting to themselves with no data in the directories. Expected Results: when I boot into the old kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3 I do not have this issue 1. under the kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3 the HP Laserjet 5L is detected by kudzu and installed, and works properly 2. under the kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3 when you try to build a 3rd party module like vmware or nvidia the source files are found /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.35_FC3/build --Gerald
