[linux-lvm] Installation of LVM on AS 2.1 - kernel 2.4.9-e.3

Hi,

I try to install LVM on my Red Hat AS2.1 server and have the following
problem :

After the installation of the lvm package 1.0.3 and of the kernel source
package of 2.4.9-e.3, i have to run

Configure
Make
Make install.

During the configure part, i always get a message that it did not find  a
Makefile in the /usr/src/linux directory.
My source directory of the redhat is /usr/src/linux/SOURCES and there is no
Makefile there. The Makefile for the 
Lvm package is in the direvctory from where i try to install LVM nl
/tmp/lvm/LVM/1.0.3. 

Any idea what is missing here ?

Thanks in advance

Johan Segers

Hi Johan,

yep, he's looking for the Makefile of your Linux-Kernel (that's usually 
at /usr/src/linux) - he's getting the Kernel-config from there (read the 
build instrunctions ??? ).

Perhaps, you'd rather play around with compiling own kernels before 
trying to patch it ;-).

Ciao
Klaus
