I updated to newest kernel (FC-3) and am getting error message in
boot...

 fs type usbdevfs not supported by kernel

OK - so I look at /boot and see...

and I see that System.map vmlinuz and module-info links are pointing to
old kernels. Is there a command to run to update them or do I just
delete the links and make them myself by hand?

This was an 'upgrade' of FC-1 and it seems to run alright but I can't
seem to sync my Kyocera Palm Phone via USB and I upgraded the kernel to
get that done and I'm thinking that this may be in the way.
