Rex, in an attempt to resolve this I checked what kernels I have installed, 
and found that the latest was 2.6.24-45, so I installed the kernel-devel to 
match, thinking that might have been the problem.  However, uname tells me 
that I'm still running 2.6.25-14.  Grub doesn't allow me to select a kernel in 
the way a normal install does.  I'm seriously wondering whether I need to wipe 
this install (which started from a live CD) and do a normal disk install 
instead.  

Do you think that my problems may stem from trying to do something that the 
live CD isn't intended to do?  Since there is an install option I had assumed 
that once I ran updates it would then act like any other system, but it seems 
it isn't so.
