I recently did a "yum update" and it installed a new kernel: 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3. I like to build my own ipw2200 module, so I tried and it failed. With a little investigation I found some broken links: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Aug 25 15:45 build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3-i686 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Aug 25 15:45 kernel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 194916 Aug 25 15:45 modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 69 Aug 25 15:45 modules.ccwmap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234004 Aug 25 15:45 modules.dep -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 813 Aug 25 15:45 modules.ieee1394map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 357 Aug 25 15:45 modules.inputmap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16284 Aug 25 15:45 modules.isapnpmap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 169632 Aug 25 15:45 modules.pcimap -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 89255 Aug 25 15:45 modules.symbols -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 268793 Aug 25 15:45 modules.usbmap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Aug 25 15:45 source -> build "build" and "source" are broken links. I tried installing the .src.rpm and did an rpmbuild, but to no avail. What am I missing? This seems to be new for kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3. Before, all the headers needed to build modules were included in the rpm, the src rpm wasn't needed, nor was anything else.
This one kernel was accidentally built "the FC4 way" with a separate kernel-devel package. Install that and the links will work.
