  What kernel are you on with FC5, I am using yum update to keep system there. I
have :
kernel-devel.x86_64                      2.6.17-1.2174_FC5      installed
Matched from:
kernel-devel


 Just checking if this is the latest offered thru yum or do I need to get to
another site. AMD64, 2g Mem, Asus K8N-E deluxe mobo
