Hi, updating my FC5 I noted that an old version of the kernel was removed. But removing wrong. So rpm -qa | grep kern don't display the old version (2080) but in the /boot I see all files related to 2080 Also in the /lib/modules I see all modules related to the 2080 version. Now there are the 2096 and 2111. I tried install the old kernel but the answer is package kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 (which is newer than kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5) is already installed package kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5 (which is newer than kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5) is already installed So the question is: trying the rpm -i --force of the older kernel is a good idea?
No. As I said before, don't use --force or --nodeps unless you really know what you're doing. It's not needed in this case.
# rpm -ivh --oldpackage kernel-devel-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 Paul.
