Hello,
I am a bit unsure of which kernel I have installed in my FC6 installation.
If I execute the following:
[graeme@(protected) etc]$ rpm -qi kernel-2 (See http://nel-2.ora-code.com).6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586
I get the full printout:
Name : kernel Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 2.6.18 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release : 1.2798.fc6 Build Date: Tue 17 Oct 2006
06:20:38 EST
Install Date: Wed 07 Feb 2007 23:35:48 EST Build Host:
hs20-bc2-3.build.redhat.com
Group : System Environment/Kernel Source RPM:
kernel-2 (See http://nel-2.ora-code.com).6.18-1.2798.fc6.src.rpm

Summary : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
Description :
The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any
Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions
of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device
input and output, etc.
If I execute the following:
[graeme@(protected) etc]$ rpm -qi kernel-2 (See http://nel-2.ora-code.com).6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686
[graeme@(protected) etc]$
I get no output, as you can see.
If I execute the following:
[graeme@(protected) etc]$ uname -a
Linux barney 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:54:20 EDT 2006 i686 i686
i386 GNU/Linux
[graeme@(protected) etc]$
it tells me my processor is an i686 but doesn't really tell me which kernel
is installed, i586 or i686.
I want to install the kernel-devel package so I can build a kernel module so
I am assuming that I *must* have the correct matching kernel-devel package
to match my installed kernel. Or doesn't it matter between i586 and i686.
Can someone enlighten me please.
Thank you.

Graeme.
