down grading kernel

[aids]

I have tried

yum search kernel 2.6.16-1.2122
and yum -y update ..... kernel number here ........

and well I need one that is under 2133 so i can run my ati ...... and neither one of those is working and I can not find my way to were it might be listed ..... i found everything else from help from others but we were not able to figure this part out and from the sounds of it this is all I need

just manually find and download the kernel rpm from an update repo and then install it as root using rpm -ivh <kernel>.rpm

If you are using FC4 look here for the kernels:

For FC5 look here for the kernels:
http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/

Just find the kernel you want, right click to download and save on your machine and install with the rpm -ivh command. Download the kernel-devel to match your new kernel if need be and install that also. Then reboot and you should have the option from grub to select the new kernel

Sorry, not sure how to check out which type of motherboard you have. Were you able to download the rpms and install them?

('package kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 (which is newer than kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5) is already installed', (8, None, 0L))
