I knew about this, but thought that the important thing was to have the kernel
and kernel-devel packages matching.
rpm -qa 'kernel*' --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|sort
shows a horrible mish-mash!
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686
kernel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.i686
kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.i686
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6.i586
kernel-devel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.i586
kernel-headers-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.i386
I could have sworn that querying uname had said that I had the i586 kernel
installed. OK - so now to clean up, then get the correct kernel-devel and/or
kernel-headers package.
Thanks for the prompt. I thought I had dealt with this problem long ago.
Later -
Now I'm really confused. I removed the kernel-devel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.i586,
but when I tried to remove the kernel-headers-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.i386 I was
told that 149 packages would be removed, so that's not possible.
I then tried to get kernel-devel-2.6.19-1.2911.fc6.i686, but yum search
couldn't find it. Running 'yum update' simply puts the .i586 package back.
I tried the various commands from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC6Common but none of them worked.
I'm stuck.
