Make sure the configured kernel source is available on your Linux system. This section
describes how to prepare the kernel source for the following Linux systems:
-
A Linux system you custom build
To determine which distribution you are using, check the Summary screen in
the ServerProtect Web console or by typing
the following command:
uname -a
Make sure you have installed the following RPM package:
-
kernel-devel
-
kernel
![]() |
NoteTo check if you have already installed one of these packages, see #1 in Troubleshooting
for
more information.
|
Type the following command to install the RPM package. The package you choose to install
depends on your running kernel version.
rpm -ivh <rpm package name>
Example:
If your running kernel version is “4.18.0-80.el8” and the kernel architecture is “x86_64”,
type
the following:
rpm -ivh kernel-devel-4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64.rpm
In addition to using the command line, you can use one of the following methods to
install the
packages:
-
Linux desktop environment (for example in GNOME, click).
-
the up2date program
For the customized kernel you built yourself
Make sure the kernel source is configured and prepared correctly with your running
kernel
version.
Generally, you can do this by copying the configuration files from the
/boot
directory to the kernel source directory (eg.
/usr/src/linux-<Kernel Version>
) and type the
make oldconfig
and make modules_prepare
commands:cp /boot/config-<Kernel Version> /usr/src/linux-<Kernel
Version>/.config
cd /usr/src/linux-<Kernel Version>
make oldconfig
make modules_prepare
