You should include the proper FC kernel numbers. I guess kernel-2.6.5-1.358 works - but not the subsequent updates.

Sorry, my mistake. Was unaware that official FC sources offered more than one version of 2.6.5, 2.6.6 or 2.6.7 (aside from SMP variants, which I would have noted). Yes, 2.6.5-1.358 is the working kernel, 2.6.6-1 and 2.6.7-1.494 were the nonworking ones. Sorry if those numbers are a bit off on the updated kernels; working from memory at the moment.


Thanks also for clearing up how the modules/kernel package relationship works in re yum updates. Now I know I can always boot into something older if needed.


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)


Misunderstood you there too, looks like. Thanks for clearing it up! I will try that instead on the test laptop I'll be bringing in from home.
