The first thing I would do is to install the kernel upgrade rpm's for
2.0.36-3 as 2.0.36-0.7 was a pre-release kernel with several known
bugs in it.
First, check which of the kernel rpm's are installed, as follows:
Q> rpm -qa | grep '^kernel-'
Then look on your favourite mirror site for the updates.redhat.com
mirror, and grab the relevant update rpm's from it...here's the ones
on my local mirror...
Q> 2,228,332 Wed Dec 30 20:13:44 1998 kernel-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm
Q> 502,324 Wed Dec 30 20:13:44 1998 kernel-headers-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm
Q> 94,884 Wed Dec 30 20:13:44 1998 kernel-ibcs-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm
Q> 320,460 Wed Dec 30 20:13:45 1998 kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm
Q> 7,912,333 Wed Dec 30 20:13:51 1998 kernel-source-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm
If you need to recompile, the last one is the main one, but I'd start
by installing whichever of the above you have the 2.0.36-0.7 version
installed for...
Best wishes from Riley.
