Use the actual binary kernel rpm so you do not have to compile. The original kernel for the FC5 distro is at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ Updated kernels are at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/ You may need to change the path depending on your architecture (i386 or x86_64) I noticed that the 2080 kernel is not there, but 2096 and 2111 are. (2080 is missing from the SRPMs as well) (my machine is x86_64 so the kernel may have different build numbers but I think they are the same.) The OP may also want to make a change to keep the older kernels when he does an update. Editing /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf and changing the line that says tokeep=2 to whatever value desired will keep as many installed kernels as you choose. The default keeps only the newly installed kernel and the one currently running. > ____________________________________________________________________ > TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> >
