Hey,

I'm attempting to update my FC6 kernel to 2.6.20. For the kernel rpm, there are a couple of dependencies, and those dependencies have dependencies. One of the dependencies for the kernel is mkinitrd, the most recent version. I downloaded that and attempted to install, that had two dependencies: most recent version of nash, which I got, and libpart-1.18.so.2. I cannot find libpart-1.18.so.2 ANYWHERE. Is it possible this is apart of another rpm? Is there a substitute for it? I've checked every .rpm index I could think of and google.com/linux didn't yield anything useful whatsoever. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

Brandon

just run "yum update" and let it do the rest. 2.6.20 is the current kernel version on fc6, no need to worry about all that gubbins, let yum take care of it. in actual fact though if you got the correct 2.6.20 rpm, then there would be no deps at all, as you're already running a near enough kernel, sure it wouldjn't demand anything else anyway.

Acid,

Thanks for your reponse. However, I do not have an internet connection at my house. I'm at work. So, Yum would help me, but not in this case. I did download the correct kernel. It's for FC6, i386 architecture and it's an .rpm. I found it kind of weird that it has dependencies myself (even though I'm not the most knowledgeable person about Linux), but it does have them. Happen to know where I can find the libpart rpm?

Bump

Anyone have any ideas?

It seems that the missing library is not libpart-1.18.so.2 but libparted-1.8.so.0
I found it in the parted-1.8.1-1.fc6.i386.rpm package using http://rpm.pbone.net restricting the search to Fedora 6.
See parted for i386
or parted for x86_64
Take these infos from me with caution because I don't use Fedora Core.
But I try to help .

Bar,

That's exactly what I need. Thank you very much. Apparently I didn't exhaust every resource.

Regards,

Brandon
