Some of us do not have extensive Linux knowledge…I’m willing to learn. Somehow this procedure assumes some knowledge I’ve yet to obtain. I’ve tried the install as posted, but keep getting errors.

Len (guessing, sorry if I got name wrong) - I assure you there’s a bunch of good guys here that want to help you figure this out. Do not feel discouraged. Please try a run of these two commands, and copy/paste the output so one of us can help you out: uname -a dpkg-query -l | grep raspberrypi-kernel (Anyone else waking up that wants to chime in on this thread, please do) Byron ---

Update… I noticed just as I tried to follow the instructions lengriff posted, I was getting some inconsistency in available packages while trying to install the required git item(s) in the apt-get statement. Meaning, I was getting 404’s off a couple of different debian mirrors. (git was not found) Seemingly on third try, I managed to round-robin to one that worked ([http://mirror.umd.edu/](http://mirror.umd.edu/)) and got the packages for git needed. (in my case, [Index of /raspbian/raspbian/](http://mirror.umd.edu/raspbian/raspbian) stretch/main armhf git armhf 1:2.11.0-3+deb9u6) So can you guys just compare here, and make sure the required packages from the apt-get statement are fully installed? (This is why I asked in my last post if you saw any errors with the apt-get line?) > > apt-get install gcc raspberrypi-kernel-headers make vim git Hoping we can sort this out… Byron ---

Would you be able to elaborate on that? Because I just re-imaged the SD card and, with the exception of an “apt update” to be able to install packages, attempted to follow the wiki instructions as the first step after booting. I still end up with the same “You do not appear to have the sources for the 4.9.80-v7+ kernel installed.” message that everyone is dealing with. ---

That’s what I just did. I have a semi-working system on which I’m attempting to install dahdi\_dummy. I’ve been working on setting it up for a while, and while the kernel packages were held per the README, “apt upgrade” had been run a number of times. So, per your prior post regarding needing to have a fresh image, I removed the SD card and re-imaged it. Prior to placing the card back into the Pi and booting, I did a few housekeeping items such as copying my saved configuration files in and changing hostname. First thing after booting the Pi and logging in, I held the kernel packages with apt-mark. I then installed the required packages per the wiki, which as you know required refreshing the repositories with “apt update”. Attempting to build using make threw the same error of not having the correct kernel sources.
