You seem to have a custom kernel package. Is it up-to-date? Where did you get it from? You should probably avoid upgrading the kernel. maybe install a new kernel (rpm -ivh, as opposed to Uvh. I think apt-rpm has an exception mechnism just for that). > > Please remove galeon by typing "rpm -e galeon", and pelase mail us the > output of "uname -a". You should be able to install most of the packages > using "rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/Additions/all/*.rpm". This would remove the custom kernel.
