tar: Skipping to next header file
Aaron Walker
I am trying to unpack the newest kernel source in /usr/src. It goes
along fine until it stops and says:
tar: Skipping to next header file
gzip: linux-2.0.33.tgz: invalid compressed data---crc error
tar: Archive - EOF not on block boundary
I used the following commands to try to uncompress the kernel source:
gzip -dc linux-2.0.33.tgz | tar xvB
tar xpvf linux-2.0.33.tgz
They both produced the same error.
Any ideas? Please help.
Thanks.

Try using tar -zxvf linux-2.0.33.tgz. If you get that error again, it means
that the file is corrupted and you will have to download the source again.
All the kernel sources I download come with a tar.gz extension... I get them
usually from kernel.org or sunsite. Did someone else package that for you?

What you suggested did not work, so I downloaded the source again (from
kernel.org). Now it says:
tar: Skipping to next header file
It doesn't say anything else like last time. It just ends and goes back to the
prompt.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I think you should download the sources from a different site
perhaps? I've had good results from ftp.kernel.org.

I have downloaded linux-2.0.33.tar.gz from kernel.org twice and neither one has
worked.

The message from gzip makes me think the file was not downloaded as a
"binary" file but as a text file. I would suggest trying the download
again and explicitly specify the "binary" option.

When you ftp in, be sure to type "binary" at the prompt. Sometimes
downloads get sent as ASCII when they shouldn't, and the resultant files
are useless. :-<

I just got bit by this - I'd been spoiled by ncftp which defaults to binary
mode and had to use plain ftp to upload my web page to my ISPs NT box. A .gif
that I uploaded broke, and drove me crazy trying to figure out why. Failing
to set binary was why.
