I amm attempting to get the ATI drivers from the livna repository installed on my system - AMD X2 3800, Gigabyte GA-K8NSC MB, 2GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9200 Pro. Having installed the repository, I
attempted to have yum install them. Here is the response:

I have no idea what to do from this point. Help is appreciated.

Thanks

Bill

Much easier to use the dkms package from Fedora Core 6 Extras and the ati-x11-drv package from freshrpms. Install the freshrpms-release rpm then use yum;

Thanks - I'll try that - hopefully tomorrow. Things have been busy today!

Thanks for your help!

My guess is that you have been bitten by the anaconda installer bug that put a 586 kernel instead of a 686 kernel in your initial install. Freshrpms won't work either until this first issue is resolved.

Read here for instruction on how to fix and get the proper kernel that will match your headers:

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=139751

Then try installing the kmod from livna again.

Ya thats definitely the anaconda bug. I've had my fair share of time with it. Luckily it is an easy fix. Also the new dvds and cds have that bug fixed.

Thanks to all who have responded to this post. I have been involved with a major project at work for the past week that has left me no time to get back to this issue. But I appreciate the help and will either report that it worked or ask more questions as soon as I can.

Thanks again!

Bill

No worries Bill. Thats the anaconda bug and is fixable with 2 lines. You'll be up and running b4 you know it.

OK - I am trying again to solve this problem. Following the link above - when I try to load yum-utils I get:

[root@localhost ~]# yum install yum utils
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
Nothing to do
[root@localhost ~]#

which leads me to believe that tis is already installed. But when I try to download the kernel, I get:

[root@localhost ~]# yumdownloader kernel.i686
-bash: yumdownloader: command not found
[root@localhost ~]#

FYI - to make sure I got everything right I cut & pasteed the commands.

I could go back and completly reinstall, but I'd rather not do that. So once again, any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Bill

try:

Yeah, it's a typo: yum utils would be two separate packages - you need yum-utils instead.

Now I feel really stupid - I should have caught that. There's a lot I don't know - but that's not one of them.

Anyway - everything worked. Thanks to all for the help.

Now I can move on to the next problem

Bill
