Description of problem: i have an intel ibm thinkpad t41 running fc6. i upgraded my kernel using yum upgrade kernel, rebooted into it, and did yum install kernel-devel on it. look at the results: [duffy@yuna 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6]$ rpm -q kernel kernel-devel --qf="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}\n" kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6.i586 kernel-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6.i586 kernel-devel-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6.i686 The 2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6.i586 kernel I believe was installed when I first installed this system; i did not install it myself as far as I can remember and I do not see it in /var/log/yum.log. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.0-6
There's a known bug in the FC6 installer where it will install the i586 kernel instead of (or in addition to) the i686 one - see bug #211941. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC6Common has more info and a fix. Does that solve your problem?
