OK I did the rpm -q --qf '[%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n]' kernel
and got the following
kernel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.i686
kernel-2.6.9-5.0.5.EL.i686
kernel-2.6.9-11.EL.i686
Thanks
Dave

Hey, Johnny,
I have a newbie question for you... not that the previous stuff isn't but
what is the difference between a regular kernel and an smb kernel?

wow... that was scary.. I did the edit, verified that I had no typos. save
and rebooted... said "file not found". So had to manually type the load
sequence in at command line to get the server back up... will verify the
installed kernels now...

Use the following commands to see the arches of your installed kernels:
rpm -q --qf '[%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n]' kernel
and
rpm -q --qf '[%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n]' kernel-devel
(you would substitute kernel-smp and kernel-smp-devel if you had an smp
kernel installed)
