kam... i already charged!! here's an overview of what's happened with this system.. it started as a happy FC2 box. i screwed up and did a 'rm -rf /*r' and blew some thins away.. i was never able to get back up/running and thought about doing a reinstall of FC2, hoping that it would get me back to where i was. i was unable to download FC2, and couldn't find the torrents for it. so i decided to bite the bullet, and go ahead and get to FC3. i did an upgrade using the FC3 iso cds, and got server back up... doing an 'rpm -Va' gave me a serious list of rpms that were broke, which is what i expected... in doing a 'yum update' (after making sure the yum/conf pointed to FC3 repos) i got an err/msg about a udev conflict with kernel... this is when i checked and started to think that maybe i have some sort of kernel issue. and when i decided to post!! i've gone ahead and installed the latest FC3 kernel/updates from the fedora/redhat download site, and i'm now doing the 'yum update'... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Kam Leo [mailto:kam.leo@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 11:10 AM To: bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: udev/kernel conflicts...
