Ok, thanks.. is there a way I can tell for sure which kernels I have installed. I have tried rpm -i and the 686 kernel name and it says already installed.. tried it with the 586 also and got same results... also tried rpm -e for each and it said "not installed" though I did the rpm -i again and it said it was, so I found it strange.
