It seems there are eggs in my beard: Somehow (why I do not yet know) /boot was not mounted at the time I did the up2date of the kernel, thus the new kernel was installed in the /boot directory rather than the /boot filesystem. --Larry |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Description of problem: Currently running kernel is 2.4.20-18.7, also have 2.4.20-13.7 installed. I used the command "up2date -u -f kernel" to get the new kernel. I am used to doing this and having the new kernel installed, but the running kernel is preserved. After up2date grabbed the new kernel, I deleted the previous kernel (rpm -e kernel-2.4.20-13.7). After these two commands completed, I was left with only the most recent kernel, the running kernel had been deleted --Larry Following are the details: [root@zeus root]# uname -a Linux zeus.fahnoetech.com 2.4.20-18.7 #1 Thu May 29 08:32:50 EDT 2003 i686 unknown [root@zeus root]# rpm -qa|grep kernel kernel-2.4.20-18.7 kernel-utils-2.4-7.4 kernel-2.4.20-13.7 [root@zeus root]# up2date -l Fetching package list for channel: redhat-linux-i386-7.3... ######################################## Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: redhat-linux-i386-7.3... ######################################## Fetching rpm headers...
