Actual results: The server registered but can't subscribe to any channels Expected results: Able to subscribe to any channels entitled Additional info: Uname -a output: Linux hostname 2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp #1 SMP Sat Jul 31 01:25:25 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux /etc/redhat-release: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 2) Profile showed (before sending out): Red Hat Linux version: 3 (Should be 3AS? I saw 3AS in another testing box which runs up2date well)
whats `rpm -q redhat-release` show? It should say "3AS", if it says "3" thats why your getting that error. Then the question is, how did you get a redhat-release-3 ?
It shows "redhat-release-3-1. I also don't know what happened. I installed the OS from the ISO downloaded from the channel, and initially it works with the up2date that's why I got it upgraded to kernel 21-15.0.4EL. But don't know why it failed to run it any longer. BTW, I did re-compile the kernel and no luck.
