Further info on my Core 6 problems
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

These messages are not from standard Fedora Core packages and the snippet you gave does not indicate their origin, so it is hard to give specific help. What third party kernel device drivers do you have installed? SMP refers to the multiprocessor kernel, which in FC6 is no longer separate from the uniprocessor kernel. If you read the Release Notes at: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc6/en_US/sn-Kernel.html#id25426... it describes how to build kernel modules.
