Sure, C5 kernels only come in the i686 or x86_64 variety. Maybe the OP's rpm thinks it's on x86_64? 'package kernel-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 is intended for a i686 architecture' is the kind of error one would see when installing i386 on x86_64, the kernel rpm file has a list of unsupported architectures and it will spit out this error when installing i386 on x86_64. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
