updating the kenel 2.6.3.. to 2.6.5 for the Support of the prism Drivers for my Wlan card fails.
I ownloaded the rpm packages and tried to install
rpm -i kernel-2.6.5.1-....
and after 2 minutes of work i got the following message:
[root@mobile01 tmp]# rpm -i kernel-2.6.5-1.315.i586.rpm
Fehler: setexeccon(root:staff_r:rpm_script_t) fails from context "root:staff_r:staff_t": Das Argument ist ungültig
Fehler: %pre(kernel-2.6.5-1.315) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
Fehler: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping kernel-2.6.5-1.315
anybody knows a soultion for thies problem or a propper way to install the new kernel??
is it offical rpm of kernel? if its so, try to change your language to english. some software doesnt work well if the system language isnt english.
u can try to install kernel from source. it will take much while. but u can choose what type of hardware and other options will be supported by kernel. so your kernel will be smaller, works better. i have fedore core 1 . i have compiled a costum kernel from source of kernel 2.6.4 for a while ago. but i must warn u that costum kernel compiling is hard. i think u can compile kernel by reading http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=91503 .redhat and fedora are similiar
thanks for info. i tried already to compile the custom kernel with source 2.6.5.
after start i got a kernel panic with a message about policies dependencies...
before compiling a custom kernel i tried to install the new kernel image 2.6.5 from fedora ftp.
but that also doesnt work.
kernel 2.6.3 works fine on my machine...
so what shall i do to get the prism driver get installed.
because this is the only thing that interests me at this moment in the new kernel.
