Kernel Module error

Linode Staff

Hello,

We are getting the following error while running.

r1soft-setup --get-module

Failed to find headers at /lib/modules/4.14.12-x86_64-linode92/build.
Get module failed.
Falling back to old get-module …
exit status 1

Hello,

Linode does not provide kernel headers for Linode kernels. If you wish to implement your own custom kernel I suggest following this awesome guide on compiling your own custom kernel.
If you do not wish to compile a custom kernel, you can use a distribution supplied kernel.

^ Looks like that's the same link twice - the easiest way to add / remove modules is to just use the distro kernel and Grub 2 - it should be as simple as rebooting:
