Please never create the /usr/src/linux symlink manually. You have to install the correct kernel headers which match to your current running kernel. In your case the package should be named kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.29.1-111.fc11 Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/
