kernel source and nVidia drivers - Bigger Question - now just need solution

[Bob Hartung]

Alright now,  I have made progress.

uname --all reports:

Linux minitwr 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 #1 Thu Jan 5 22:14:13 EST 2006 i686 
athlon i386 GNU/Linux

This tells me that I have a i386 kernel installed. right?

rpm -qa | grep kernel reports:
   kernel-doc-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
   kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4
   kernel-devel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4

Now I now that the kernel-headers are for i686.  As the error I get 
after running the nVidia installer is that I have the wrong kernel 
source installed, i can only surmise that the difference is between i386 
and i686.  Right?

So now, how can i force yum to upgrade/install the current i686 kernel 
to replace the i386 kernel that I am currently running?

If you think I am completely wrong - say so!  I do want to keep up on 
this as I will eventually better understand what I did wrong and 
therfore avoid repeating it and maybe be able to help someone else.

by the by, I am not a computer scientist, but a physician and i am glad 
that I am a hell of a lot handier with an angiograhic catheter and a CT 
scanner or MRI than I am proving to be with the linux kernel, yum and 
all the repositories that i am slowly finding out about.

Thanks again for putting up with this drivel.
