Hi,
I am trying to install the kernel src rpm that I've downloaded from the CentOS ftp, kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm. I hope to compile the kernel with XFS enabled. However, I have tried to simply run:
[root@se4 ~]# rpm -iv kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm
and it complains back:
warning: group builder does not exist - using root warning: user builder does not exist - using root warning: group builder does not exist - using root warning: user builder does not exist - using root warning: group builder does not exist - using root warning: user builder does not exist - using root ....
then an rpm -q kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm says: package kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm is not installed
Anyone know what is going on??
ps. I have tried to install the CentOSplus kernel with xfs and that is completely unstable for me.
Andrew ... for the older kernels, you can get the SGI module here:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/
(look for kernel-module-xfs and the kernel you want)
That is much more stable code than is in the 2.6.9 tree and it is installable against the standard kernel.
I am waiting for SGI to provide updated code before I build for the 2.6.9-34.EL kernel. When I get that code, I will produce a new and improved XFS for the 4.3 kernel.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
