problems after installing kernel
 

Hi,
I'm using FC4 on my laptop, and was trying to install driver for my IPW 2100 wireless card. I face some problems during these steps:

1. After downloading firmware, kernel-module, and the driver, i tried to install them. Firmware went fine, but I can't install the kernel-module since my kernel is a bit outdated i think. The rpm i downloaded is for 2.6.12 kernel and mine is 2.6.11, so what I did is I downloaded the new kernels rpm and installed it on my laptop. After i went back to wireless kernel-module, it said it still need /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4, i've tried to search this rpm but can't find it, anyone know where it is?

2. Then when I tried to reboot my machine after installing the new kernel, I notice that the auto-power off isn't working anymore, I have to press the reset button on my laptop, and when I boot the machine, there's now 2 version of FC4 with different kernels on it, 2.6.11 and 2.6.12, is it okay to have this? Or how do I remove the older version of kernel? Does this have anything to do with ACPI?

Thanks for your help

1. Does the file "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4" exist? When you installed the new kernel, it should have provided that file.

2. It's not "2 versions of FC4", it's just two different kernels that are installed. You can leave the older kernels on there (it's common for people to have 3 or 4 kernels listed in the boot menu); they don't affect anything or take up almost any space and may come in handy if a new kernel fails or something. If you really want to remove it, you can do "yum remove kernel-2.6.11-whatever" (where kernel-2.6.11-whatever is the old kernel).
