Shouldn't that be a 64bit version? Later on in your message, you have the following: uname -a Linux ftp.temp.org 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:41:45 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux It APPEARS that you are not running the 64bit version of Fedora. For comparison, here is "uname -a" from my Intel Xeon QuadCore (64bit) system: [steve@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jan 18 19:52:07 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux So, for you, the i686 version of e2fsck would seem to be the correct one. BUT, e2fsck seems to be a part of the following package: [steve@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/e2fsck e2fsprogs-1.41.9-5.fc12.x86_64 /sbin/fsck IS a part of the package that you refer to above: [steve@localhost ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/fsck util-linux-ng-2.16.2-5.fc12.x86_64 Again, though, unless you install the 64bit version of Fedora, you will be needing the i686 versions of these RPM's. I am basing my assumption that you are running a 32bit version of Fedora from the fact that you are running the i686 kernel. Beyond that, I am NOT an expert :) Steven P.
