Hello, I have just tried upgrading my Fedora 8 (64-bit) PC, and it generally went okay. However, the installation of the kernel - which I did separately from the rest of the packages - gives an error and doesn't update the grub.conf file. The error is quite long, so I'll just show the top and bottom parts of it. Has anyone else had a problem installing the latest kernel (kernel-2.6.26.3-14.fc8.x86_64)? I checked redhat bugzilla but so nothing about this. ============================================================ Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check --->
