[rhn-users] dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm hoses my Dell

[Barry Gamblin]

I have a Dell Precision 360N that came with RH Enterprise WS from Dell. 
I had to reinstall RH from the CD's. Then I tried to run rhn_register 
and get the latest errata. When it tried to install the 
dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm package (believe this is the version it was trying 
to install) it gave an error (something about an unpacking error) and 
then my machine was toast. I tried going to /var/spool/up2date and 
install the dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm  from there, but it gave some error 
about /dev/snd/control0;<something> no such device. So now I am back to 
square one.

I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this type of message. 
I have been all over the rhn site and cannot find one place where I can 
send a message of this type for help.
