Install the 

kernel-source

, 

kernel-devel

, and, if using an older release, 

kernel-smp-devel

 RPMs for your distribution before installing the InfiniPath 

RPMs, as there are dependencies. Use uname -a to find out which kernel is 

currently running, to make sure that you install the version with which it matches. 

If these RPMs have not been installed, you will see error messages like this when 
installing InfiniPath:

Building and installing InfiniPath modules for 2.6.16_sles10
2.6.16.21-0.8-debug kernel
*** ERROR: /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-debug/build/.config is 
missing.
***        Is the kernel-source rpm for 2.6.16.21-0.8-debug

Building and installing InfiniPath modules for 2.6.9_U4 

2.6.9-42.ELsmp kernel
*** ERROR: /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.ELsmp/build/.config is missing.
***        Is the kernel-smp-devel rpm for 2.6.9-42.ELsmp

.

Install the correct RPMs by using the yum or yast commands, for example:

# yum install kernel-devel

Next, the infinipath-kernel package must be re-installed, with the 
--replacepkgs option included. Then InfiniPath can be restarted. To do so, 

type the following (as root):

# rpm -U --replacepkgs infinipath-kernel-*
# /etc/init.d/infinipath restart

Check your distribution’s documentation for more information on installing 
these RPMs, and for usage of yum or yast.
