I am attempting to upgrade my kernel headers for 6.0 (Venus) to 2.2.9-27
so that I can install VMware. I am currently running the 9-27 kernel
wihout any problems, and I had thought I had installed the headers before,
but I get the following message from the vmware-config.pl :
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.2.9-19mdk) does not match your
running kernel (version 2.2.9-27mdk). Consequently, even if the
compilation of the module was successful, the module would not load into
the running kernel.
So I get the kernel-headers rpm for the 9-27 kernel, and attempt to
install them:
[david@pandora download]# rpm -Uvh kernel-headers-2.2.9-27mdk.i586.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
kernel-headers = 2.2.9-19mdk is needed by kernel-source-2.2.9-19mdk
So what gives? I don't understand why rpm is asking for the previous
kernel rpm or if this is some sort of bad and strange parsing error
somewhere. Can someone point out what it is I'm missing, or perhaps
another attack on the main problem? I wasn't going to upgrade to Cooker
for awhile for stability reasons, but maybe that would be a (long and
tedious) solution that wouldn't really help me understand what's wrong.
Can anyone help?
Later,
David
