First do an upgrade (rpm -Uvh) for all the kernel packages, but the source, and then do an install (rpm -ivh --nodeps). You may have problems with the kernel-header pkg., so the best way is to: 1. Keep older packages around. 2. Upgrade *all* kernel packages with rpm -Uvh 3. Install the old source package with rpm -ivh --nodeps = Eugenio Diaz, BSEE/BSCE Linux Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

RE: [Cooker] fully versioned kernel-source packages
Just don't do an upgrade! Sorry? kernel-source is installed into /usr/src/linux-2.4.2, upgrade or no upgrade. At least, that is what happens with RPM from official cooker mirror. -andrej First do an upgrade (rpm -Uvh) for all the kernel packages, but the source, and then do an install (rpm -ivh --nodeps).
