    Thumbs up Kernel Programming

    Hi Friends,

    I have installed FC9(i386) in my PC.
    I would like to do Device Driver Devlopment through FC 9.

    Linux Kernel source is not available in /usr/src

    I have installed Kernel Source RPM manually, But FC9 crashed.

    How to get kernel source for kernel module implementation.

    You don't need kernel sources to build device drivers, only the kernel development package, which should be accessible via YUM. Try (as root) "yum install kernel-devel".
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    The kernel development package isn't installed as part of the normal distribution. It includes the libraries and header files needed to build new kernel drivers and modules. There are major differences in how the kernel is organized between fc2 and fc9 that you need to understand. Please visit The Linux Kernel Archives and The Linux Documentation Project for details.
