Broadcom 1/10G NIC v7.4.25-2 compilation problem RHEL6.4

[Adrian Graham_1]

Folks,

I've seen maybe 3 others with this problem and it's driving me mad.

RHEL 6.4 on a BL460c G6 will not connect either on-board NICs so I figured I'd install the latest SPP but the driver build failed. Looking at the rpmbuild output it doesn't think I have the kernel-devel rpm installed but I do:

kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

kernel-firmware-2.6.32-358.el6.noarch

kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

kernel-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64

The error is the same as the others:

error: Failed build dependencies:

              kernel-devel-x86_64 = 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 is needed by hp-netxtreme2-7.4.25-2.x86_64

Fixes I've found so far all revolve around the redhat-rpm-config package but I have that too:

redhat-rpm-config-9.0.3-42.el6.noarch

Install instructions from HP say I need the kernel-syms package but that's only for SLES.

The blade is in bay 4 of a C3000 Shorty talking on ports 4 and 12 of the GBe2c switch in interconnect bay 1, said switch is showing ports as happy and tx/rx counts are going up while the ethn ports try and get a DHCP address.

Tearing my hair out here, good job I've a lot of it. And don't get me started on running HPSUM on 64bit Linux ;)

Anyone seen this problem before?

I can't post logs because I'm having to access the iLO via an XP VM as IE10 is so broken it won't even do virtual media.

Cheers

Adrian
