This seems to have done something but I still get a problem updating : Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-33.fc7 is needed by package alsa-kmdl-2.6.22.1-33.fc7 Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-33.fc7 is needed by package ivtv-kmdl-2.6.22.1-33.fc7 Missing Dependency: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.1-33.fc7 is needed by package nvidia-graphics100.14.11-kmdl-2.6.22.1-33.fc7 $ uname -r 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 I somehow don't understand the missing dependency unless yum is still trying to remove my running kernel.
