I've already done this successfully with RHEL4 on some x4200 M2 servers which are using basically the same RAID stuff. To get mpt-status working you need to compile it against the kernel source, so therefore that needs to be installed. Under RHEL4 this was easy enough to do in a scriptable manner: up2date --get-source kernel rpm -Uvh /var/spool/up2date/kernel-*.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9 mv linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/ cd /usr/src ln -s ./linux-2.6.9 linux Can anyone please tell me what the neatest, most hands-off way of getting and installing the kernel source is please under RHEL5? I've tried doing 1) yum install kernel-source No joy 2) yum install yum-utils ; yumdownloader --source kernel Also no joy Neither worked. Suggestions appreciated!
