i had the same issue on ubuntu 8.04, it was installed off a cd so i went on the cd and had to install 3 additional packages.. maybe i did not need them all.. but after installing all three i didn't get 1908 and it installed:

the packages i had to add were:
linux-image package
kernel-image package
linux-headers

I did it off the install media so it would match my current kernel version...

Might want to check if those packages are installed

Can I install these over the net? I do not have the dvd anymore? I don't know the commands either to do this. Bower

Open your packet manager and look for them. Else, you can use Yum as root and install them. This question is in the FAQ and the Manual.

the mandriva package installer did not do everything. I uninstalled it and downloaded the program and installed it that way and it worked. thanks for the help though. Bower
