Yes Paul I do have the kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.src.rpm and the
kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i586.rpm.
Right, let's try building the module ourselves then.
Install the kernel-devel RPM; that will be needed.
Next, follow the steps in the kernel tweaking guide at
http://www.city-fan.org/tips/TweakKernelPackage up to and including the
"Prepare Build" step. Use your kernel-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.src.rpm instead
of the FC4 one used as an example.
Next, make yourself a module-build directory:
$ mkdir ~/module-build
$ cd ~/module-build
Next, copy the module source code from the unpacked kernel source:
$ cp
~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.16/linux-2.6.16.i586/drivers/char/n_hdlc.c .
(don't miss the "." at the end of that one long command)
Create a file "Makefile" in your module-build directory, containing:
obj-m := n_hdlc.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules
install:
strip -g n_hdlc.ko
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) M=$(PWD) modules_install
(all indented lines should be indented with tabs, not spaces)
Build the module:
$ make
Install the module:
$ su
# make install
# /sbin/depmod -a
You should then have your module ready to go...
I have installed the kernel source as instructed on the,
http://www.city-fan.org/tips/TweakKernelPackage link, but I can not find
the where it has installed it!!! It should be in a directory '/rpmbuild'
but no such directory exists.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Garry

I have decided to go back to RH9 for the time being, unfortunatly I need
this linux server up now and sorting out these fedora problems is taking up
far too much time.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me over the past couple of weeks.
Kind Regards,
Garry.
