Hey all, maybe someone out there can explain to me what's going on, here...
I'm trying to install the new kernel rpm's, and I'm not being very
successful.
1) Downloaded kernel-2.6.16-1.i386.rpm and sthe source rpms
2) ran gnorpm... Said it installed the i386, but wouldn't install the src
3) checked the installed packages, and that seemed to be verified.
4) used gnorpm to remove the source packages
5) boat-load of errors about "file doesn't exist" (usually *.o files)
6) went to command line & checked /usr/src/linux-??? The structure was
still there, even though rpm said sources weren't installed.
7) ran rpm -Uh kernel-blah.src.rpm
8) showed hash marks, said it was installing, but rpm -q kernel-blah.src.rpm
says not installed.
What the heck is going on, why won't the darned thing install?
As an aside, I _am_ in the process of downloading the 2.6.16-3 stuff, now.
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but it appears that my ethernetwork
has slowed down tremendously, even after a reboot. Is this due to the new
kernel not being recompiled, etc? Also, after reboot, uname -a still gives
the old kernel, so does that mean that it didn't get installed, even though
rpm told (tells) me it did?
