I assume this means I want the 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 i686 version of
kernel-devel.
When I run 'yum search kernel-devel', I get the following choices:
kernel-devel.i586 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 core
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 core
kernel-devel.i586 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 updates
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 updates
kernel-devel.i586 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 updates
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 updates
kernel-devel.i586 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 updates
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 updates

This tells me that you have the i586 kernel installed. Do "rpm -q
kernel" and
see if this is not the case. (By the way this is a known bug in
the FC6 installer.)
You need is to download the i686 kernel, perform a "rpm -ivh
kernel-*.i686.fc6.rpm",
and reboot with the new kernel.
It looks to me like the one I want is
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 updates
When I run 'yum install kernel-devel.i686', the only choice I get is
kernel-devel i686 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 core
How do I tell yum that I want the 2869 build version from the updates
repo? I tried several things, but couldn't seem to find the right
combination.
Thanks!
