The same occurs when running kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 if trying to remove kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 using the analogous command. Mike The other modules need updates built for them. The problem was caused because there were no updated kernel modules built for the new kernels. I've rebuilt the gnbd,cman,dlm & GFS-kernel packages and the packages should be available on the fedora updates site shortly. You should be able to update your machine which will update the cman, etc. kernel modules and then you can remove the old kernel. (In reply to comment #3) That's excellent - thank you for responding so quickly. Mike I am afraid that the latest change has not made this work!
The yum updates from the past day are listed in my machine as:

Now running the rpm command still does not remove the kernel !

Also GFS-kernel on my machine shows as [root@home1 ~]# rpm -q GFS-kernel GFS-kernel-2.6.11.8-20050601.152643.FC4.2 [root@home1 ~]# Because cman-kernel, gnbd-kernel, etc. are kernel modules when you install a new version the old version isn't automatically removed. If you want to remove the old kernel, you must remove the old cman-kernel,gnbd-kernel, etc. packages. I just discovered that this issue has already been dealt with previously and the solution is at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158394 The solution is to use "yum remove" rather than "rpm -e" Apologies that I missed the previous bug report.

As root do "rpm -e kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4" 2. 3. Actual Results: The same error as list above occurs, and the rpm data is not changed Expected Results: The previous kernel should have been removed. Additional info: This needs to be fixed soon since for anyone with a limited root partition the buildup of unnecessary files will eventually make the system unusable if there is eventually insufficient space left in the root partition - for example at some point large yum updates will fail due to a lack of available temporary space for working during the update process.
