New to Deb, Unconfigured kernel headers in 2.6.16-1

#1 (**permalink**) 01-19-2008, 07:39 AM

Hello,
I am running deb unstable, and I just upgraded my kernel from 2.6.15 to
2.6.16-1. I am trying to install the nvidia-kernel, which works fine on
2.6.15, and keep getting the error "unconfigured headers in
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1" when ever I run m-a -i prepare. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This might or might not help you, but I usually install the kernel-source,
copy it into my home dir, compile it and install it before attempting to
install external kernel modules.

Thanks,
I'll give that a try
