RHEL5 and HP PSP 8.20

RHEL 5.3, HP DL360G5 and PSP 8.20

Hi All:

I am in the process of installing RHEL 5.3 on a new HP DL360G5 box.
I am new to 5.3 (but not RHEL) and HP. I am attempting to load the
HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP 8.20) but I have been encountering
some problems. Apparently portions of the PSP require the kernel
source and this is were I believe that I am having my problem.

Here is what I have, what I have done and what I am attempting to
do (hopefully with sufficient detail):

1. Our current kernel is kernel-PAE-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.

2. I have downloaded and installed kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.src.rpm.

3. I have also installed rpm-build, rpm-devel, unifdef, gcc, make,
   redhat-rpm-config, ncurses-devel and kernel-devel.

4. I have ran:

   cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
   rpmbuild –bp -–target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
   cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
   cp -a kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686/ /usr/src/
   ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.i686/ /usr/src/linux

5. I am attemtping to run the PSP installed (install820.sh) but I
   am encountering:

     The HP ProLiant Linux Deployment Utility requires source code
     for the 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE kernel be available for building and
     installing certain drivers included in this bundle.
     The directory, /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE/build, is either
     missing, or is empty.

   When I check the /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE directory is
   present but the build subdirectory is not.

I strongly suspect that I have not followed through sufficiently on
installing the kernel source but this is all new to me. I have never
had the need to rebuild a kernel and what I have so far is based on
several different sources such as:

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-9786 and
http://ingvar.blog.linpro.no/2007/12/14/bygge-kjerne-pa-rhel5-med-egen-konfi

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Regards, Hugh
