It depends on how you did the upgrade. In fact, I have some FC6 boxes around that had been upgraded across all fedora releases since FC1, only by replacing the current 'fedora-release' package with the new release one. In your case, you need to remove the fedora-release-6-4 package, after that send a 'yum clean all' and then a 'yum update kernel', then verify that you have the new kernel installed and dont' remove the old one for the momment. best regards Teo Fonrouge -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
