Description of problem: After successfully updating the client w/SSL we ran up2date (twice now, also did a package upgrade for the kernel only since iptables won't update until the kernel is upgraded) and the redhat.com website shows up2date ran and successfully, installing kernel 2.4.20-20.7, yet the server still only shows one kernel installed (kernel-2.4.18-3) after doing the rpm -q kernel command. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RH 7.3 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. explained above 2. 3. Actual results: explained above Expected results: explained above Additional info:
does the problem go away when you run 'up2date -p' ?
Tried running up2date -p already, no luck. The account is kodak_lbp and the servername is smtp.loomis-associates if this helps.
smtp.loomis-associates.com that is...
Please provide the output of: rpm -qa | grep up2date rpm -qa | grep kernel cat /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid | grep ID
rpm -qa | grep up2date command output > up2date-2.8.40-3.7.3 rpm -qa | grep kernel command output > kernel-2.4.18-3 cat /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid | grep ID command output > <value><string>ID-1002000859</string></value>
How about: grep -e Skip /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date
[root@smtp root]# grep -e Skip /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date removeSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including wildcards that up2date will not remove removeSkipList=kernel*; pkgSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including wildcards, to skip pkgSkipList=kernel*; fileSkipList[comment]=A list of file names, optionally including wildcards, to skip fileSkipList=; [root@smtp root]#
Kernel is in the skip list by default - you can get it to install by running: up2date --configure and deleting kernel* from the skip list, or by running the up2date gui client.
