> Error: hal conflicts with kernel < 2.6.17 > Error: autofs conflicts with kernel < 2.6.17 They only work with a kernel of 2.6.17 or higher > However, when I do: uname -r I get: > 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 This is your running kernel not the only kernel you have and the rpm system is smart enough to realise this. > kernel-smp.i686 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 installed > > kernel-smp.i686 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 installed So you need to get rid of 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 Basically the packaging system has realised that if you choose to boot the old kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 which you have installed and it let you update hal or autofs, then the result would not work. If you know you have another kernel which does work then you can remove the 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 kernel.
