VMware server 2.0, /usr/src/linux?

[Jamie Bohr]

No go,

# package-cleanup --cleandupes
Setting up yum
Loaded plugins: kernel-module, refresh-packagekit
No dupes to clean

After doing so more digging I found
/boot/System.map-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64 existed.  Very strange file
permissions though,

-????????? ? ?    ?          ?                ?
System.map-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64


# rm -rf System.map-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64
rm: cannot remove `System.map-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64': Stale NFS file
handle


I never even had NFS running on this system, it is a new build.  The file
permissions are the same in single user mode.  If I boot from a rescue disc
the file is not listed.  I have been a UNIX Admin for many years and have
never seen something like this.
