Hi , I would like use kernel source for both adding drivers are well as configuring kernel.( porting for small embedded system) Here i see one more problem , i have followed your below mentioned steps. kernel sources got updated, but when i try a command like rpm -qa | grep kernel-source " nothing has been returned . i have a doubt whether kernel sources were really downloaded or not . Below i have pasted the messages from yum message----------------------------------------------- yum install yum-utils Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories updates-released 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 436 kB 00:03 updates-re: ################################################## 1172/1172 Added 10 new packages, deleted 0 old in 1.70 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.1 MB 00:04 extras : ################################################## 3149/3149 Added 82 new packages, deleted 54 old in 4.01 seconds Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
