Hi Satish: Good news ! Yes, there is a solution. Summary: . download the kernel source RPM . install the kernel source RPM . rpmbuild the kernel.spec file . configure the kernel options . apply patches . build .config file . prepare build files . build the kernel . make headers_install This last step for a properly configured kernel should install module.h However, Fedora 8 documentation states that for custom module development you need to install kernel-devel RPM and work with. For more details, please see the link below. Here is the link http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f8.html#kernelsrc and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel thanks Saifi.
