I’m definately having a redhat sucks moment. I’ve got a stock RH AS3.5 server that is unable to build its kernel.<\/p>\n
Yes, the distributed kernel that comes with the RPMs from redhat (kernel-source-blah-blah-blah) is broken with respect to the default headers such that it’s not possible to build most of the kernel modules.<\/p>\n
This shows a impressive level of incompetence on RedHat’s part. THIS is the OS that costs $300 a year? While there are four or five free versions of linux, all of which are capable of compiling their kernal out of the box?<\/p>\n
Part of what’s annoying me is the complete lack of anything like useful error messages. Example:<\/p>\n
rpmbuild -v -v –rebuild kernel-2.4.spec
\nInstalling kernel-2.4.spec
\nerror: kernel-2.4.spec cannot be installed<\/p>\n
Helpful, aren’t they? Set maximum verbosity and all they tell you is that it can’t be installed. Not, you know, WHY or anything..<\/p>\n
