This says that your kernel was compiled on a box that somehow features mandrake. If you compile your kernel yourself, it's probably gone.

One can have a mix of different distribution's rpms installed. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
