Please install the kernel headers for your operating system.
===============================================================
Please check the kernel devel and kernel version are the same. If they are different you won't be able to compile CDP kernel module.
Please run the following commands to check what is wrong:
#uname -a
#uname -r
#rpm -qa |grep kernel ---using this command you can see the kernel devel and kernel
version installed.
kernel-headers-2.6.18-448.16.1.el5.lve0.8.70
kernel-2.6.18-338.5.1.el5.lve0.8.29
kernel-2.6.18-448.4.1.el5.lve0.8.69
kernel-devel-2.6.18-448.16.1.el5.lve0.8.70
kernel-2.6.18-374.3.1.el5.lve0.8.44
kernel-devel-2.6.18-448.4.1.el5.lve0.8.69.1
kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages versions do not match the current kernel
version (2.6.18-448.4.1.el5.lve0.8.69), they are currently at 2.6.18-448.16.1.el5.lve0.8.70.
Try to install kernel devel, here is an example below.
#yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-448.4.1.el5.lve0.8.69

Error unpacking rpm package kernel-devel-2.6.18-448.4.1.el5.lve0.8.69.x86_64
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-

Failed:

========================================================
You can see that it is falied to install and throwing error cpio:stat.
So we need either upgrade the kernel to 2.6.18-448.16.1.el5.lve0.8.70 or install the
appropriate kernel-headers and kernel-devel packages. Then install the module again
and everything should be OK.
If you are unable to resolve the issue please raise a ticket with support team.
