[cobalt-users] Kernel header problems after sysreset?



I have had my RaQ3 for about a week now. I did a 'sysreset' on the machine
after only installing the package updates from Cobalt (all of them,
including OS Update 4.0). After that, I went back to re-install the packages
again, assuming they needed to be re-applied (like MS SP's -- remember, I'm
a newbie at Linux admin). I figured it would tell me if the package was
already there. I was right, but only after I re-installed the OS Update 3.0
update and a few other packages without problems. While it took those, when
I got to the OS Update 4.0, it said it was already installed and did for all
other past that update. When I type 'uname -a', I now have Linux 2.214C5.
However, packages installed shows kernel-headers-2.2.16C27_III-5. I'm afraid
I may have reset the server back to an earlier version. And it will not let
me install the packages again, it says 'already installed'. Should I force
it with rpm? Should I force all of the updates again using Upgrade or other
options with rpm?

I started noticing the problem when trying to make SSH and PHP. I was
getting errors pertaining to the kernel headers
(/usr/include/bits/errno.h:25: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory).

Any help is greatly appreciated!
