Getting kernel headers for a 2.6.13.2 kernel

**Javasnob** · 09-30-2005

Hey guys, I compiled my kernel and booted into it (w00t), but as expected, my Nvidia drivers didn't work, so I need to get the kernel headers. Also as expected, apt can't get it for me, so does anyone have an idea where I can get the headers?

Thanks again!

Have you installed kernel-package? If not, do it...

Code:

cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.13-2
make-kpkg --revision=host.1.0  kernel_headers
cd ..
dpkg -i kernel-headers-2.6.13-2_host.1.0.deb
...

Of course you should have installed kernel sources of that version... I use the vanilla kernel from kernel.org.

It's angry at me ='(

Code:

root@Rob&#58;/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.13.2# make-kpkg --revision=host.1.0 kernel_headers
I note that you are using the --revision flag with the value
   host.1.0.
However, the ./debian/changelog file exists, and has a different value
   10.00.Custom.
I am confused by this discrepancy, and am halting.

You have already used kernel-package... right?

However, the ./debian/changelog file exists, and has a different value
10.00.Custom.

Edit your <kernel-tree>/debian/changelog... See the very first lines? You'll find a 10.00.Custom. You must modify it in the string you specifify in --revision flag... or delete the <kernel-tree>/debian/changelog...
... and everything will go all right!

Nevermind, fixed it. Thanks for your help!
