It seems to me that the 7.x part means the kernel is for a 7.x Redhat release. RH8.0 uses the 8.0 kernels (kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0 being latest). The debug part means the kernel was compiled with debuging options (I don't know exactly which options those are. If you install the kernel-source package, you will find the different .config files used to compile the kernel under the configs directory. Try doing diff on them to see what the differences are between them. Cheers, -- Javier Gostling Av. Kennedy 5757, of. 1502 Ingeniero de Sistemas Las Condes, Santiago, Chile Virtualia S.A.
