hm... when i look at the rpm list below i notice that redhat seems to be doing the same thing they did last time there was a big upgrade: issue new kernel rpms, forget about the kernel headers. while these might not change, several programs will barf if the directory in which the headers are, does not match the kernel version.... unless they put the headers now in the kernel, which i doubt. a quick check of the 6.2 kernel rpm kernel-2.2.19-6.2.15.alpha.rpm shows that [debussy ~]$ rpm -qlf kernel-2.2.19-6.2.15.alpha.rpm | grep include it does not contain header files. please redhat, provide the necessary rpms (in time)... i'd be careful to start patching without the headers. i'd be careful without patching either... h. header of redhat advisory: # --------------------------------------------------------------------- # Red Hat, Inc.
