You won't have to fight the system to replace kernel-2.6.19-1.2911 586 with the 686 version of the same kernel-2.6.19-1.2911. One way is to reboot and use the old kernel. Uninstall the newer one. Download and install the 686 version of the latest one or two kernels (two gives you some options to play with, just in case). Then you can reboot with the latest 686 kernel, and if things work fine, remove the old 586 one. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)

Thanks Axel and Tim. There was a "script" to run http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC6Common?highlight=%28fc6%29#head-e0676100ebd965b92fbaa7111097983a3822f143 BUT, it had two bugs: a typo on lines 11 and 13. line 11 WAS: KARCH=$(rpm -q kernel --qf "%{arch}\n | tail -n 1") Supposed to be: KARCH=$(rpm -q kernel --qf "%{arch}\n" | tail -n 1) --->The last quote on the line was in the wrong place. line 13 WAS: if [ $KARCH == "i586" ]; then Should be: if [ $KARCH == "i586" ] ; then --->put a space between the ] and ; I also installed camstream. now it recognized the device, but seems to not be able to display anything.
