[newbie] kernel-2.2.3-4 trouble

[The Phenom]

Hello to all, bare with me I am new to the list.

I have recently installed Festen 5.3 and have installed it with no
problem.  I downloaded the kernel updates from the main ftp site in rpm
form.  All of them install until I get to the "kernel-headers" rpm and it
will not install.  The odd thing is that it gives no failed dependencies,
it just says "error: kernel-headers cannot be installed".  I have even
tried to do a force install (rpm -i --force)...  Any ideas??  All
suggestions are appreciated.

Maybe your header-package got damaged.
Add the -vv option (i.e. rpm -ivv etc.). This will turn on debugging mode,
which will tell you more.
