I got a doozer of a problem-- I hope you all can help.
I recently upgraded to Redhat 6.0 from 5.2 The upgrade left me with a
modular 2.2.5-15 non-SMP kernel. (Wheras before I was running a
self-compiled SMP kernel with Redhat 5.2) I then installed the
2.2.5-15smp kernel rpm and repointed all the pointers in /boot and my
system is running great.
I don't fully understand the problem I am having: It appears that the
rpm for the 2.2.15 headers (called 'kernel-headers') corresponds only to
a non-SMP kernel. Specifically, I was trying to install OSS (sound
suuport) to get my soundblaster awe64 working. During the compile
section of the install I got this:-==========================<clip>
sh ./check_shields.sh
Error: You do not appear to have kernel include files installed
properly.
The kernel you are currently running is 2.2.5-15smp. However
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
contains the sources/headers for "2.2.5-15".
You should make sure that /usr/src/linux/include contains the
sources/headers
for the kernel image that is being used on this system.

Sure enough, the
usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h file does have as its first line:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.5-15"
this file comes from the kernel-headers RPM from redhat.
I guess my questions for you are: What is going on? Is this a problem
with SMP? How can I fix it? Will recompiling the kernel with the
current source in SMP mode solve this problem?
Thanks!
