How many kernels do you have installed? rpm -q kernel
Normally I usually have two kernels installed.
However;
$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64
kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64
kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64
You normally should have more that one, new ones are installed as well
as older ones, and older ones only removed when there are too many. I
think the current default is two, but I've changed mine to keep about
five installed. That allows for debugging, and easy reversion back to
an older kernel should a newer one have problems (it's just a boot
choice, rather than having to install something).
Yes, I know. I only mentioned the lack of removal of the third kernel
because it might be indicative of an incomplete or improper install.
yum-complete-transaction says everything was completely installed
however.
I was thinking of booting into kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64; removing
kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64 and re-installing that kernel unless
someone has a better solution or can tell me why I am getting the
"driver referenced before assignment" warning at boot.
Before I screw everything up here can I be reassured that it is all
right to erase the nvidia driver?
# rpm -e kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64
error: Failed dependencies:
kernel-uname-r = 2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64 is needed by (installed)
kmod-nvidia-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.x86_64-173.14.12-2.fc9.x86_64.
I am currently running in kernel 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64.
You should be. The running kernel will only use the module for that
kernel.
