MGlCo> I have downloaded the following RPMs for my fresh installation: MGlCo> kernel-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm MGlCo> kernel-source-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm MGlCo> kernel-smp-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm (since its a double proccesor box) Sometimes you need a little more then that, like modutils, for example. MGlCo> I did the upgrade of the kernel-source RPM and had to use -ivh --nodeps MGlCo> --force options to install the kernel and the kernel-smp RPMs. Using either of --nodeps and --force is asking for troubles... not to mention a combination of two. MGlCo> MGlCo> I noticed that the kernel progress bar only reached the 50%. Bad sign. MGlCo> Everything seems to be fine, but what could be wrong or everything is MGlCo> fine? If you can run lilo without any complaints, I'd call it a pretty good sign. Otherwise, noone knows. :) -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov, RHCE System Administrator Francoudi & Stephanou Ltd.
