Re: Update Hell
I need to make a few points, I guess. kernel-2.2.22 may be an old kernel, but 2.2.22-6.2.2 is the latest patched version of the kernel. If not for the local exploit, I'd happily still be running 2.2.19-6.2.16 I never have, and God willing, I never will, build a kernel. If there is no rpm, then I hope I don't need it. 'make modules' and 'make modules install' won't work since my laptop is also my firewall/router and has pretty much nothing but the kernel, networking, pcmcia, and ipchains installed. (And of course the relevent dependencies.) Upgrading to a newer kernel/distribution is not a valid option either. I tried that at home, and I am now getting more error messages, and missing files, than I ever had before. [What the hell is libpthreads.so.0 (GLIBC_PRIVATE version)?] All I wanted to do was rpm -ivh new.kernel and reboot. I have since rebooted back into the old kernel, and now I'm having network problems. (I'm still troubleshooting, I may ask about them later.)

He's running a pre-compiled binary kernel; that really should not apply. Unless Red Hat screwed up royally (which is certainly possible), I suspect the configuration of his installed kernel and supporting modules is slightly wacked. It might be a user mistake, or maybe a script guessed wrong somewhere. > 2.2.22 is a VERY old kernel ... Not really. It was released the 16th of September of this year. The 2.2 series is still being actively maintained. We are not seeing many new features being added to it, yes, but many of us consider that to be a Good Thing -- it contributes to a stable operating environment.

Re: Update Hell
Well, Red Hat 6.2 is fairly old now, but it appears that you may need to rebuild your kernel. If you don't know how to do that, let us know, and I'm sure there will be some folks on the list who can walk you through it. If you do already know how, it appears to me that you may have forgotten to do a 'make modules; make modules_install' at the end as the kernel is trying to load modules that are incompatible with it, as reflected in the various 'unresolved symbols' messages. 2.2.22 is a VERY old kernel, and if at all possible, you might consider moving up to 2.4.19 kernel. However, should you do so, take a long look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes to see what other system components will require updating - there are a lot.

Update Hell
I just updated the kernel on my (Red Hat 6.2) laptop. The only kernel packages needing updating were kernel, kernel-pcmcia-cs, and kernel-utils. I did them, rewrote lilo, reran lilo, then rebooted. Now pcmcia won't start. Argh! Can anyone help?
