I tried to create a new VM today, using the same checklist. At first I couldn't insert the GA CD, apparently because it was already mounted? Anyway, long story of futzing around, poking at it, trying to get it to work. I have since uninstalled GA and attempted to reinstall, but I can't build the kernel modules. I got part of it to work, but I'm getting a message "ERROR Kernel configuration is invalid. Include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing. Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."
With some digging I think I found the correct dir to run the make -- it's kernel 4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86.64, so I cd'd to /lib/modules/4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86.64/build and ran the make there. I'm getting several errors:
Code: Select all
*** No rule to make target '/usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86.64/tools/build/Build.include'. Stop
*** [Makefile:43 /usr/src/kernels/4.18.0-240.15.1.el8_3.x86.64/tools/objtool/fixdep-in.o] Error 2
*** [Makefile:65: objtool] Error 2
*** [Makefile:1672: tools/objtool] Error 2
Any idea what's wrong?
