Alright, so the installer kernel tells me it's 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.

The kernel I'll boot into on reboot is 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.

The modules that I'm trying to load up are those for 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.

Where is the incompatibility?

Ok, so...  How do they differ?  There is apparently module support in the
installer kernel.

I wasn't aware that I was being argumentative.

I understood him to say that they were different versions of the kernel...
But they all seem to have the same versioning label.

If they differ, it's not by version number that I can tell.

There's some other difference that I'm not quite grokking.
