I ran these commands,
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep kernel|sort
then
su -c "yum install yum-utils"
then
yumdownloader kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686
then
su -c "rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm"

And now it says this:
$ rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep
kernel|sort
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686
kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i386

Does anyone know if this fixed the problem? Thank you for any help.
