Use the instructions in this article to install Runtime Kernel Module Support on Amazon Linux, CentOS, OEL, RHEL, and SLES. Runtime Kernel Module Support is required to automatically support the latest kernels that are not supported by mod-versioning.
NOTE: Before installing Host IPS for Linux, check
KB70778,
KB88823, and
Release Notes to ensure that the platform is supported. If the platform is not supported, the server might not start after you install Host IPS for Linux.
- Install the packages for the developer utilities gcc, make, and kernel-devel. These packages can be found from the vendor.
NOTE: You must install the packages in the following order:
- gcc
- make
- kernel-devel-<version number>.rpm
To check the current kernel version, run the following command:
]# uname -r
4.4.23-31.54.amzn1.x86_64
To check for issues with the kernel version, run the following command to view the hip-install.log:
]# tail /opt/McAfee/etc/hip-install.log
