What am I doing you ask? I'm not sure myself but I have three boxes
running F7, two installed from the Live CD and all three work nicely,
however the one I installed yesterday is unhappy with the updated
Kernel. I will simply not boot from that kernel for the present, no
doubt there will be another and when it comes along the situation
will change so I've decided to let it slide until then since it's
apparently not a recognized problem with a known fix.
I thank you for your response and comments.

Bob,
Now that the system is fully updated why don't you do a
yum remove kernel-2.1.26-1.3228.*
and when that is done do a
yum install kernel-2.1.26-1.3228.*
I think the version numbers above are right, but you can check.
I installed exactly how you described *except* the kernel
update occurred after my system was running for a while and all the
updates were there. No issues.
I am unable to remove the offending kernel using yum install
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
a typo?
Yes, it should have read: "I am unable to remove the offending kernel using
yum remove kernel-2.1.26-1.3228.* or any variations on that theme,
nor can I install it."
kernel-2.1.26-1.3228.* or any variations on that theme, nor can I
install it. No matter what it says there's nothing to do?
And from what I can determine Yumex can't remove anything at all?
It's fine for installing ... I never tried to uninstall with it
before but I see no way.
So I guess the best I can do is wait for another update to come
along. The computer works fine with the earlier kernel it's just
bothering me that I can't fix it.
I am sending this to you because I am also send three scripts and an
alias. Not that the list can't have them. Nothing secret here. But I find
them helpful.
Ok, I have unzipped and saved those items but none appear pertinent to
my immediate "problem."
Actually I have no problem other than that the latest kernel version
Panics at boot. I was attempting to remove and re-install it but for
whatever reason did not accomplish that seemingly simple task?
The same Kernel runs happily in this computer and another so obviously I
have something corrupted.
Just mildly frustrated but I have plenty of other things to keep me
amused and all three F7 installs work well otherwise.
Thanks
Bob Goodwin
