I am trying to install kernel headers version 4.14.71-v6 (uname -r) for Kali Linux. I already did the common commands…
apt update
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade
apt install linux-headers-generic
alt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
…with and without option -y
Also did reboots. I searched the repos by apt search 4.14. I took a look onto http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/, no success at all.
I've seen on http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux/ are kernel-headers for 4.18 and 4.19, but the upgrade is distributing versions only up to my 4.14.x
Does anybody have an idea what to do?
Best Answer
You are not finding the headers for your kernel version, in the official distribution repository, because you are dealing with a Kali setup using a custom made kernel version.
Whist we do not have all data, from you
uname -r, it leds me to suspect it was made using these scripts/tools https://github.com/Re4son/re4son-kernel-builder ; it also leads me to speculate, after a bit of detective work, that maybe you have a Raspberry PI/ARM v6 device.In this case, the easier option is either to reinstall a new version, or even better, choosing a more user friendly Linux distribution.
