Hello,
 
I've just installed Redhat 8 and in order to get my DSL USB modem working I have to upgrade the kernel, adding various patches. I'm aware that the i386 kernel is used during the install in order to support most hardware - but are the correct kernels for my processor installed after this? The 'KDE Control Center' --> 'Linux Kernel Configurator' says that my architecture is i386?
 
I'm using a Duron 900Mhz so which kernel upgrades do I download from the website? i386, i586, i686, Athlon?? Only the source code for i386 is provided on the website. why?
 
The following packages are installed on my system:
 
    $ rpm -qa | grep 'kernel'
 
    kernel-2.4.18-14
    kernel-utils-2.4-8.13
    kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-9
    kernel-doc-2.4.18-14
    kernel-source-2.4.18-14
    kernel-debug-2.4.18-4
    kernel-uml-2.4.18-14
 
Thanks, Dominic
