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 Firmware went fine, but I can't install the kernel-module since my kernel is a bit outdated i think.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
