I did the exact same thing this morning - rpm -Fvh instead of rpm -ivh, and used the i386 kernel instead of the i686 kernel. I fixed it by simply following with rpm -Fvh on the i686 kernel. The machine rebooted and seems to be working, but as you said, all of the previous kernels are gone, so you have to hope that the new kernel works, and remember to update /etc/lilo.conf. -----Original Message----- From: Danial Howard [mailto:howadani@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 5:07 PM To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: accidently freshened kernel package I accidently upgraded the kernel package (rpm -Fvh *.rpm in a directory containing a newer kernel package). Now all my previous kernels are gone. The kernel that is installed now is an i386 kernel, not an i686 kernel like prefer. I can't remove the kernel package (can I?) and install the correct one. What's the safest and best way to install the latest i686 kernel. Should I use the force, replacepkgs, replacefiles options or a combination of them?
