Can yo tell us exactly how many kernels yo have installed? rpm -q kernel will tell you all kernel versions installed. Why don't stick to having one and only one kernel installed and booted in order to move forward so when you yum install a kmod module, it will be for the correct kernel?? Otherwise you will be spinning your wheels for a long time. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
