Hy folks,
I'm writin this from an Knoppix 3.2 Live-CD in order to warno you about some possible toubles installing thr 2.6.5 kernel via Yum.
The URL was published yesterday here in this list.
Which one? http://people.redhat.com/~arjanv/2.6/ ? Works fine for me.
The problem is that the damn think fails to reboot, but that's nothing specially important, since many of us have a huge collection of kernels...
Or at least that was was I thought after rebooting.
The fact is that this package *erases any other kernel* you would have in /boot !!!!!!!!!!
yum install foo vs. yum update foo! You need to install the kernel, not upgrade it.

When I updated my kernel from 2115 to 2174 it did at least. ;-)
However, if you do "rpm -U kernel.blah" it WILL update it and usually causes a lot of problems.
