hi all
i m currently running linux-2.6.32.rc6 mainline kernel on my
beagleboard and 2.6.24 based ubuntu-8.04 on the host side. i need to
test a simple kernel module such as hello.c on the beagleboard. but,
to compile on the host side i guess i need a kernel headers for the
2.6.32 kernel..
how can i get this??
i tried apt-get install kernel-headers-2.6.32-rc6 but failed
wat is correct commands to compile the kernel module so that i can
test successfully on the beagleboard??
kindly help..

If you've gotten the mainline 2.6.32-rc6 kernel up and running, why
can't you use the kernel source from kernel.org to get the headers you
need?

Well, in your original email, you were looking for the
"kernel-headers-2.6.32-rc6" ...

Where do you think they come from?

I bet if you look in:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/v2.6.32/linux-2.6.32-rc6.tar.bz2

You'd find exactly what you need.. (and more of course, since the
headers aren't split out for you..)

Regards,
