The bad news is that the output of "rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.33noframebuffer-1.x86_64.rpm" is as follows: [root@localhost x86_64]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.33noframebuffer-1.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package kernel-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.33noframebuffer-1.x86_64) is already installed package kernel-2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64 (which is newer than kernel-2.6.33noframebuffer-1.x86_64) is already installed file /lib/firmware/matrox/g200_warp.fw from install of kernel-2.6.33noframebuffer-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package linux- firmware-20100106-4.fc13.noarch file /lib/firmware/matrox/g400_warp.fw from install of kernel-2.6.33noframebuffer-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package linux- firmware-20100106-4.fc13.noarch Any ideas?
