Re: yum update for kernel sources

Hi ,
I would like use kernel source for both adding drivers are well as
configuring kernel.( porting for small embedded system)


Here i see one more problem , i have followed your below mentioned
steps.

kernel sources got updated, but when i try a command like rpm -qa | grep
kernel-source " nothing has been returned .

i have a doubt whether kernel sources were really downloaded or not .

Below i have pasted the messages from yum

Hi ,

Did any any used yum tool to download kernel sources ?


What are you using the kernel source for?. If its installing drivers you
just need kernel-devel rpm which contains the kernel headers.

if yes what is the command .


Apart from YUM is there any other method to install kernel sources



yum install yum-utils; yumdownloader --source kernel
