aacraid-1.1.5.2392-1dkms.noarch.rpm install error

[Barry Smoke]

granted, I have not had to do this(compiling kernel modules) in a while,
(since custom dpt raid modules in the redhat 8 days), 

but there appears to be something wrong with the
aacraid-1.1.5.2392-1dkms.noarch.rpm 

 

We have a performance problem with our dell poweredge 830, with cerc
sata controller, so I downloaded the driver:

CERC-E-aacraid-RHEL4Gold-1.1.5.2392-A01.tar.gz

 

We are running RHEL4, with kernel kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL

so, the source for that appears to be in package
kernel-devel-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL, which provides
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-42.0.2.EL-i686 source tree.

 

when installing the aacraid rpm after getting the kernel source, I get
this error message:

[root at localhost cercdriver]# rpm -ivh
aacraid-1.1.5.2392-1dkms.noarch.rpm

Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the

kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

 

Your DKMS tree now includes:

aacraid, 1.1.5.2392, 2.6.9-5.ELsmp, i686: built

aacraid, 1.1.5.2392, 2.6.9-5.ELsmp, x86_64: built

aacraid, 1.1.5.2392, 2.6.9-5.ELhugemem, i686: built

aacraid, 1.1.5.2392, 2.6.9-5.EL, i686: built

aacraid, 1.1.5.2392, 2.6.9-5.EL, x86_64: built

 

is this looking for the source at a specific location, 

can I symlink to it, or am I missing something?

 

Thanks,
