071-0.FC4.3 is in updates-released now. Maybe you hit an out of date mirror ? It's there on the master site at .. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/x86_64/udev-071-0.FC4.3.x86_64.rpm
Hi Dave, no, I'm sorry.I did not. I've used the same site. Ok, so the next step should be: Install/ update udev with yum: [root@localhost Frans]# yum -y update udev Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Could not find update match for udev No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion --- Next try with rpm: [root@localhost Frans]# rpm -iU /media/hdb1/Frans/MyDocs/udev-071-0.FC4.3.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: module-init-tools < 0:3.2-0.pre9.0.FC4.2 conflicts with udev-071-0.FC4.3.x86_64 --- And checking with install packages: udev (already installed) module-init-tools (already installed) kernel (needs udev -> not installed) --- Any ideas? May be I should wait until the next kernel update!?
bah, grab the module-init-tools update from the same url above. (or you could try disabling the mirrorlist in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ and see if that sorts everything out)
Already did that. --- command 'yum search module-init-tools' in konsole gives as output: 'Matched from: module-init-tools module-init-tools.x86_64 3.2-0.pre9.0.FC4.4 installed' --- Could it be that installing extra drivers (in this case Nvidia nforce 430 NIC and audio) could change the configuration of FC4 in a way which makes updating the kernel impossible!? Just guessing here...
