Kevin, I'm using a server from a company in spain that rents dedicated servers.<br>At first, the server was setup with Fedora 13. Clean, no other stuff in it.<br>I started the process of installing Asterisk the same way I did with another server that we have<br>
but with Fedora 12. This other server was already 'prepered' by someone else. They let <br>me the server after using it for a while and I successfully installed Asterisk on it with no problems at all.<br>yum install kernel-devel and everything else worked fine.<br>
<br>So, when I started to have problems on the new server with Fedora 13, I decided to downgrade to Fedora 12. <br>The problem is that the company that rents me the server, don't support Fedora 12 anymore. <br>They have Fedora 11 or 13. So I choose Fedora 11x64. And here I'm.<br>
<br>With fedora 13 I couldn't install gcc either. Some dependencies were looking for kernel > 2.2.1 or <br>something like it. So I decided to downgrade to 12.( that became 11 becouse the didn't have 12 )<br><br>
Someone here told me Fedora 11 is no longer supported. Is that true ? No more repos available ?<br><br>So far the only thing that I can not do is to install kernel-devel. <br>Can I install some other version of kernel-devel and compile anyway ? Can I trick it by changing the dir name ?<br>
Asterisk needs this headers to 'make' it so ...<br><br>Here you have the /etc/grub.conf<br>[root@ns310181 etc]# more grub.conf<br>default=0<br>timeout=5<br><br> title linux fedora11_64<br> kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.33.5-xxxx-grs-ipv4-64 root=/dev/md1 ro<br>
root (hd0,0)<br><br>Looks like a "special" Fedora version ( some xxxx there ), not a free one you can download from internet.<br>May be the guys that let me the other server, installed a new kernel. Can I do that ? <br>
Can you give me some tips ( tips, guides, urls ) on how to do it ? I see that you are kind of an expert on linux.<br>Obviously I'm not. But not afraid to try new things.<br><br>u'r d man !!! <br><br>Thanks.<br>Albert.<br>

</div></div>Ah, no, you are not. if uname says you are running on 2.6.33.5, you<br>
have booted a 2.6.33.5 kernel. The question now becomes, where is it,<br>
and where did it come from? If you have no kernel RPM installed, then<br>
where did your kernel come from. I have both a kernel and a<br>
kernel-headers package installed (in fact, I have a couple of kernels<br>
installed) on most of my systems.<br>
<br>
On my 1 F11 system, I have:<br>

and I'm running:<br>

As you can see, I also have kernel-2.6.29.4-167 installed, but I'm not<br>
booting it.<br>
<br>
You need to look at your /etc/grub.conf file (or where it really lives<br>
in /boot/grub/grub.conf) and see what kernels you system can boot from.<br>
Perhaps that will shed some light on where your 2.6.33.5 kernel has come<br>
from. You haven't installed anything from another non-RPM source have you?<br>
<br>
BTW, the following are current F13 kernels:<br>

> kernel-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686<br>
<br>
You, obviously, are running on x86_64 hardware.<br>

</div>I can't answer that without seeing more of your yum output (where is it<br>
looking for kernels, etc). But, if you are running a non-rpm kernel,<br>
building/installing other software is going to give you miles and miles<br>
of grief. And finding/installing RPMs is going to be next to impossible<br>
in cases like this.<br>
