Error Summary

why?

ryptyde

Sorry for delay, is it possible that you have the i586 kernel installed when you should have i686 kernel? You can check by:
and also get a list of installed and available kernels by:
and there should not be the i586 listed as installed. If that is the problem there is a fix but check your kernel version first.

kinngg

yes i do have the i586 installed.. wats da problem? n wats da different between i586 and i686?

ryptyde

The problem with the i586 kernel would be that you cannot install your kernel module from the repo as it is built with i686 kernel.

Go to this link and you will read and follow the instructions there to get the proper kernel installed. Kernel
