    Hi,

    I am running Centos5.2 on my thinkpad t60 laptop.

    To add kernel support for my wireless card. I updated my kernel from

    2.6.18-92.1.18.el5
    to
    2.6.27
    using the following link.
    http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_centos_p2

    The update was successful however now when I run 'yum list installed' I get

    kernel.i686 2.6.18-92.el5 installed
    kernel.i686 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 installed
    kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 installed
    kernel-headers.i386 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 installed

    Is there something I must do to inform yum that I am now running 2.6.27

    Also how would I update my kernel headers.
    I ask because I need to get Fuse installed but I think it installs with the wrong headers because when I run 'modprobe fuse' I get the following output
    FATAL: Module fuse not found.

    Thanks
    Anthony

    If you built the kernel the traditional way, then there's no rpm package, which means yum doesn't know anything about it.
    The kernel-headers are already installed because you built the kernel yourself.
