Bing!
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}-%{ARCH}\n" |
grep kernel
kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i386
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i586
What a mess! Is there a fix for this, yet? Presumably, I should be
on the 686 kernel, first of all. The 586 kernel was installed
automatically by the DVD installation. I did a fresh install
except for keeping my old /home. I'm running a modern 2.66 GHz
duo-core CPU.
Once it decided, for whatever reason, to install the 586 kernel,
it then picked up the headers and devel packages, presumably,
when I installed the NVIDIA driver - there seems to be a
concatenation of mistakes.
Is this best left for the packaging teams to sort out over the
next few days, or is there a fix now?
