Appendix D – Installing with Linux

Preparing the Kernel Sources

This step may or may not be necessary, depending on how your Linux distribution installs the kernel sources.

Log in as root and do the following:

Command

Explanation

 

 

1. cd /usr/src/linux‐<version>

Change to the source directory.

 

 

2. make mrproper

Clean up any old files.

 

 

3. Use either of these commands:

Make a configuration file to match your

 

running kernel.

make oldconfig

for Red Hat

‐OR‐

 

make cloneconfig

for SUSE

 

For other distributions these same commands

 

might work, or you might need to find a

 

config file in /boot or in a configs directory,

 

copy it to .config, and run "make oldconfig".

 

 

4. make prepare

To prepare the kernel sources for your

 

machine.

 

 

If you built your own kernel, the kernel sources are already be installed and prepared.

If you are using a kernel that came with a Linux distribution, it can sometimes be difficult to get the kernel sources correctly installed and prepared, since each Linux distribution handles kernel sources slightly differently.

For example, if you get errors about the wrong kernel version, you may have installed the wrong kernel sources, or you may need to edit the kernel version in the top level Makefile of the kernel sources. If you get errors about a missing usb‐serial.h, you may only have the kernel headers installed.

If you have trouble getting the full kernel sources installed and prepared, you can copy the correct version of usb‐ serial.h to drivers/usb/serial in the kernel headers directory and then the other kernel sources are not needed.

If you have difficulties, look carefully at the error messages when installing the TGZ or RPM packages. Those messages provide an indication of what the error is.
