Can't install Linux Kernel 4.4 Kirkwood headers
February 23, 2016 07:04PM
I receive the following error when I try to install the headers for latest kernel: 
Examining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms 4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1
Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1/build or /lib/modules/4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1/source.
How can I resolve this?

Is this error when you installed the kernel headers? I think it would be more helpful if you post then entire log (from the command to here).

Can't install Linux Kernel 4.4 headers (continued)

Yes, that is is when I try to install linux-headers-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb.

This looks like your problem. I think you need to install the headers first before dkms.

Thanks for your answer. So I went ahead, removed both packages and re-installed the headers first: 
root@nsa310:~# dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb
Vormals nicht ausgewähltes Paket linux-headers-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 wird gewählt.

dkms: WARNING: Linux headers are missing, which may explain the above failures.
      please install the linux-headers-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 package to fix this.
root@nsa310:~#
Still no luck and a pretty confusing hint...

sebr,

Which command did you use to remove them? was it with 
dpkg --purge package-name
sometime the traces of the installation is still in the pre/post directory if not purged.

Yup, purged to perform a fresh start. But not help.
There are files in /lib/modules/4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1/ but no directory named 'build' or 'source'.
Also it is not possible to build a module.

This is easy, just create them while being root user.

I faced same error...
But little investigation and found that directory "build" is symlinked to headers directory.
so i typed 
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 /lib/modules/4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1/build
and all is working. now build module for wifi.....
