When I first installed CORE 6 it booted just fine. Now it hangs and gives the message snipped below. If I do [CNTRL C] it finishes. It says that it can not find Linux/version.h where it thinks it should be. I have erased the kernel-devel package. Why is it trying to compile? It is referring to a SMP version. I do not see the string SMP anywhere in the REDHAT download page <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/>. What do you think is going on? Ken Jones ---------------start snip---------- No prebuilt modules for: Fedora - 6 linux-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.i686-SMP. Trying to automatically build the driver modules. (This requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed) WARNING - Missing file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h. The cause of this is usually a missing or unconfigured kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link.) However, proper /boot/config-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 was found. ---------------end snip----------- As I said. At this point the little spinning icon is busy. The progression bar is not progressing. CNTRL-C initiales a successful finish of the boot. Ken Jones
