(a 2.6.15 version, and the latest is a 2.6.18 version). My list was wrong. I've got so damn used to seeing things being listed upside-down on computers, that I marked the top of the list instead of the bottom without thinking. Grrr! Yes, it's the latest kernel that produced that error, and I'm booting up using it. And yes, the whole system's kept up to date. Take two: rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 (the one showing the error) -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
