I guess kernel-2.6.5-1.358 works - but not the subsequent updates. > When one yum updates the kernel package are all associated modules updated > too, or are the modules left alone and thus still associated with the older > kernel? Each kernel version has its own modules (along with any changes to those parts). When you boot to a specific kernel vesion - its own version of modules are loaded. And you can have multiple versions of the kernels (and their correspnding module files) installed simultaneously. Check /lib/modules > Now, had I followed Satish's recommendation to roll my own kernel... I wasn't sugesting to rolling your own. Just install the testing kernel. rpm -ivh ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/testing/2/i386/kernel-2.6.8-1.521.i686.rpm I guess this would be the next kernel update to FC2. (if not too many bugs are found in this version) Satish
