I'm running on 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 Ah, no, you are not. if uname says you are running on 2.6.33.5, you have booted a 2.6.33.5 kernel. The question now becomes, where is it, and where did it come from? If you have no kernel RPM installed, then where did your kernel come from. I have both a kernel and a kernel-headers package installed (in fact, I have a couple of kernels installed) on most of my systems. On my 1 F11 system, I have: > # rpm -q -a kernel\* > kernel-headers-2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 > kernel-devel-2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 > kernel-doc-2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.noarch > kernel-firmware-2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.noarch > kernel-2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 > kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586 and I'm running: > # uname -r > 2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i586 As you can see, I also have kernel-2.6.29.4-167 installed, but I'm not booting it. You need to look at your /etc/grub.conf file (or where it really lives in /boot/grub/grub.conf) and see what kernels you system can boot from. Perhaps that will shed some light on where your 2.6.33.5 kernel has come from. You haven't installed anything from another non-RPM source have you? BTW, the following are current F13 kernels: > rpm -q kernel > kernel-2.6.33.5-124.fc13.i686 > kernel-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686 > kernel-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 You, obviously, are running on x86_64 hardware. > I can also see that I have header installed: > *kernel-headers-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 > *The question would be, where ?* > *So, I wonder why 'uname -r' gives me this crap: > 2.6.33.5-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64 ???? > And why 'yum install kernel-devel' doesn't work ? I can't answer that without seeing more of your yum output (where is it looking for kernels, etc). But, if you are running a non-rpm kernel, building/installing other software is going to give you miles and miles of grief. And finding/installing RPMs is going to be next to impossible in cases like this. > Thanks for the answer. > you'r the man > Albert -- Kevin J.
