[DRBD-user] DRBD 8.0.5 Installation in RHEL 5

This addresses the issue, albeit with an older version of DRBD and RHEL, 
but I imagine the KDIR switch remains the same and it should work. Of 
course making sure the kernel-source is installed is necessary before 
starting down another road.

[DRBD-user] DRBD 8.0.5 Installation in RHEL 5






 
Hi. I?m trying to install DRBD 8.0.5 in RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) 5.
I can?t find rpms for this distribution, so I downloaded drbd-8.0.5tar.gz
 
I had the original OS kernel 2.6.18-8.el5xen. I then used Package Updater 
to update no a newer kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen.
Theses files are located here:
/boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-8.el5
/boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5
 
 
Since I haven?t compiled my kernel, I thought I could just do ?make clean 
all? to install DRBD. But this appears:
 
SORRY, kernel makefile not found. You need to tell me a correct KDIR!
 
make: *** [greeting] Error 1
 
 
 
It?s trying to find the toplevel makefile of kernel source tree in 
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen/build.
This is a link to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.1.8.el5-xen-x86_64. But 
/usr/src/kernels/ doesn?t even exist!
 
 
What must I do to install DRBD? Compile a new kernel? Please help me, as I 
don?t understand these kernel stuff?
Thanks a lot!
