Re: 6.2 ate my headers, part II

[Edward Moon <emoon ix netcom com>]

I had a similar problem.

I fixed it by reinstalling the kernel headers, source, and ibcs.

You'll need to add --force otherwise rpm won't reinstall since it 
detects the headers are already there.

i.e. rpm -Uvh --force kernel-headers-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm 
kernel-source-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm kernel-IBCS-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
