Description Dave Jones 2007-09-19 18:36:51 UTC

a yum update has removed the currently running kernel.

(14:34:45:root@firewall:~)# uname -r
2.6.22.5-71.fc7PAE-debug
(14:34:47:root@firewall:~)# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-PAE-2.6.22.5-77.fc7
kernel-PAE-debug-2.6.22.5-76.fc7
kernel-PAE-debug-2.6.22.6-81.fc7
kernel-PAE-2.6.22.6-81.fc7
kernel-headers-2.6.22.6-81.fc7

Comment 1 Florian La Roche 2007-09-23 07:17:17 UTC

The default configuration does not have the kernel-PAE variant listed
in "installonlypkgs":

    installonlypkgs = ListOption(['kernel', 'kernel-bigmem',
            'kernel-enterprise','kernel-smp', 'kernel-modules', 'kernel-debug',
            'kernel-unsupported', 'kernel-source', 'kernel-devel'])

regards,

Florian La Roche

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2007-09-24 04:42:52 UTC

Except that we should be checking provides against the package names as well, so
it shouldn't matter

Comment 3 Seth Vidal 2007-10-02 14:36:25 UTC

jeremy, it's not about installonlypkgs - it's about installonlyn nuking the old
package. We need to add PAE and PAE-debug to the list of possible pkgs for
installonlyn to be careful around.

Comment 4 Seth Vidal 2007-10-02 15:10:20 UTC

okay here's what I'm going to do:
1. I added kernel-PAE and PAE-debug to the list
2. I'm going to enhance the look up for what package the running kernel comes
from a bit more

closing this one as upstream - thanks!
