Here's the fun part. If you're going to install FC6 that kernel problem was part of the install process, noted as a bug and got hashed over quite a bit on this list in the beginning. So it was awhile ago, but not in distant past. Just delete using rpm -e --nodeps kernel kernel-headers kernel-devel. Then yum -y install kernel* which should work. If I got this wrong, someone correct me please. I think the kernel was the one installed i686 and the headers i586, killing them both off and re-installing was the answer I think. Ric
Ric- this seems to be exactly what happened- when I ran the grep as instructed in the bug note for the i686 it turned out I had one i686 file and the others were all still the i586 files... It was a mess- I reinstalled using the instructions to force a i686 install. The install completed and I did the first login (with the help of X) and once I was in X I dropped to the terminal and ran :rpm - qa --queryformat ".... etc This is where it gets strange- or I think it does.. check out what I am getting: kernel is i686 kernel-devel is i686 kernel-headers is i386 Seems to me Kernel-headers being a i386 while the others are at i686 might be a problem. So, before I go any further- is this OK or do I need to do something else before runing the yum updates?
