Compile a third-party kernel module
In general, third-party kernel modules are compiled using a skeletal kernel source
tree and pre-computed symbols for the specific kernel configuration they will be
loaded into. To set up this expected build environment, you will need to install the
following RPMs:
• The kernel binary RPM:
kernel-HPPS-2.6.16.60–0.21.370.<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm
• The kernel architecture-specific source RPM:
kernel-source-2.6.16.60–0.21.370.<xxxx>.<arch>.rpm
After installing the RPMs, reboot on the new binary kernel and verify that uname
-r reports 2.6.16.60–0.21–HPPS. If desired, edit the default setting in /boot/
grub/menu.lst to select the new kernel automatically. The newly installed kernel
will be the first entry in the list (default=0).
If everything is set up properly, the symlink:
/lib/modules/2.6.16.60–0.21–HPPS/build
will point to:
/usr/src/linux/2.6.16.60–0.21-obj
and the symlink:
/lib/modules/2.6.16.60–0.21–HPPS/source
will point to:
/usr/src/linux/2.6.16.60–0.21
The environment is now ready to support compilation of third-party kernel modules.
Refer to the documentation provided with the module for installation, configuration
and build process information.

Compiling third-party software using the HP Scalable NAS installed kernel build
environment, as described in the previous section, is a preferred technique. However,
