DKMS - RC=-1908 on Linux (Oracle 6.3)

[Ratman]

That is also what I thought but when I run the command to install them this is what happens.

Code: Select all

[root@localhost trather]# yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security

[root@localhost trather]# ^C

So I am trying to find out how to install the DKMS package. Any idea?

[Perryg]

Post the results of uname -r from the terminal

[Ratman]

2.6.39-200.29.2.el6uek.x86_64

[Perryg]

OK so you didn't add the public repo.
http://public-yum.oracle.com/
run the two lines of code then do a yum update.

Code: Select all

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo

After that run the install of dkms kernel-headers kernel-devel.
You must get the headers & devel in sync with your running kernel.

[Ratman]

I did all that and I am still getting that "No package DKMS avaiable"

Code: Select all

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

Then see if you can manually install them
kernel-headers-$(uname -r) kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

[Perryg]

I just noticed that your public repo is saving as “public-yum-ol6.repo.3”
You need to make sure that it is named "public-yum-ol6.repo" sans quotes.

I started over again with a clean install of Orcal Linux 6. I did find that an older version of YUM was installed so I removed it and did the update. I then went ahead and did the header update. Here is the information from that. I noticed that DKMS package is still missing. Before I try to insall Virtualbox I wanted to check and see if there this is good to go or do I need to install something else.

You can install as many times as you like but the error is not going to change. You must install the headers that matches you running kernel.

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

or

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-headers-2.6.39-200.29.2.el6uek.x86_64

[Perryg]

post the /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
Compress it so the file can be attached.

[Ratman]

Here is the file.

[Perryg]

Edit this file and look at the end. You need to enable the [ol6_UEK_latest] as is explained in step 3 of the link I sent you. Since you have the uek build it also needs to be enabled.

Change the enable=0 to enable=1
Then do a yum update

[Ratman]

The [0l6_UEK_latest] was set to enable and that was what I thought that I was to do based on the steps that you sent. I have gone and set [ol6_UEK_base] also as enabled. I then did a YUM update. I then tried to do a Kernal and header update and a Virtualbox drv update and the results are below. It is still failing.
