RPM is reporting the kernel RPM you have installed. You are running a kernel which was not installed with RPM. Likely you have both 2.4.9 sitting around (from the RPM) and 2.4.16 (which you are running). There is not wrong or even unusual about this. I _always_ keep a stock RedHat kernel around. If nothing else, it's a good fallback if one I've built myself is seriously sick. So this is normal and expected. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you. - Will Rogers _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
