Paul Stejskal got an infinite number of monkeys to type out:
Error messages please.
Well, I'm not sure where to look about error messages, but this stuff is really
confusing me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ su
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehill]# urpme kernel-source
The following packages contain kernel-source:
kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-18mdk.i586
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehill]# urpmi kernel-source
The package(s) are already installed
The following package names were assumed: kernel-source-2.6.14.2mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehill]# urpme kernel-source-2.6.14.2mdk
unknown package: kernel-source-2.6.14.2mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehill]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.12.12mdk-1-1mdk
kernel-2.6.14.2mdk-1-1.2006.SoS
kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-18mdk
So, I can't install the kernel-source for my current kernel, because it's
already insalled. But it's not, according to rpm -q.
And I haven't the faintest idea why lilo is loading Hawkwind's kernel as the
default:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehill]# cat /etc/lilo.conf
# File generated by DrakX/drakboot

root=/dev/hda1
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.14-2mdk.img
append="resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent"

Like I say, whether I choose 'linux' or '2614-2' I still get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] joehill]# uname -r
2.6.14-2mdk
This is starting to look real bad :-\
Thanks for any help.
Unfortunately, urpmi kernel-source just installs the *latest*
kernel-source - it doesn't pick one to match the kernel(s) you've got
installed.
You might be better off using rpmdrake - uninstall all kernels you've
got (except the one you're using at the time!) and then install a
matching pair of suitable kernel & kernel-source.
Also, run lilo -v to see what kernel 'linux' is linked to.
