Hello all,

I'm very much a newbie to Linux (running Fedora FC3 for 10 days) and there is an issue I have run into. The biggest problem I have is that for some reason my kernel doesn't update properly. My Fedora box is dual PPro running kernel 667smp, but I know kernel 681smp is out there for download and install. I run the GUI version of up2date and I always download and install all patches that are made available.

For some reason kernel 681smp didn't install. So fine, I downloaded the rpm-package for kernel 681smp manually with FireFox, choosing the option to run it with the default application, but when FireFox has downloaded the package and starts the installer, the installer says kernel 681smp is already installed. Just to double-check I searched on the Internet and found this command "uname -r", which confirms I am running kernel 667smp.

How do I force a reinstall or an update of the kernel to version 681smp?

Thanks, Maurice.
