Frank, we've said this before and I don't understand why you're not getting it: Starting with F28, 32-bit PAE kernels are NOT being built and placed in the the standard repos. The new F28 kernel you show is a pure i686, 32-bit kernel and _not_ PAE. You've installed a PAE kernel. Yum/dnf can't find a match because there are no PAE kernels for F28. The decision to not build PAE kernels was made by the Red Hat/Fedora guiding committee. I guess the assumption was that most people had migrated to 64-bit systems for the most part or the majority of 32-bit machines had less than 4GB of RAM. Your references to a "new" 4.17.7 PAE kernel keep overlooking that it's for F27. If you need PAE, you will have to either keep using an F27 PAE kernel (and updates will end when F27 goes end-of-life when F29 is released) or download the F28 kernel source RPMs and build your own PAE kernel. It's not hard to do if you've every built a kernel before (it's just one flag in the configuration). Perhaps you can convince the RPM Fusion people to build PAE kernels and place them in their repos. I don't know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/FAVWBPYJ47L2G2MA5E54NJBJFL2KZEBW/
