Description of problem: When installing the 2.6.15-1.1977 kernel it spits out problems and does not install properly. Also, the 1977 kernel leaves my machine with a kernel panic when I boot the kernel by manually editting grub.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Very (install, reinstall and yet the problem persists) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install FC5_T3 2.yum update everything 3.The kernel does not get installed properly 4.Tried reinstalling kernel 5.Still not working Actual results: Look at the result on the "Additional Info" section Expected results: Just a normal kernel install without problems. Be able to reboot and into the new kernel without a kernel panic. Additional info: Just installed FC5_T3 and yum updated. Nothing has yet to be altered. This is what rpm spits out: [root@localhost xys]# rpm -e kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 kernel-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 *** glibc detected *** /sbin/grubby: double free or corruption (out): 0xbfd77b60 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0xe23de8] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_free+0x79)[0xe272ed] /sbin/grubby[0x804fd12] /sbin/grubby[0x804feb1] /sbin/grubby[0x8050026] /sbin/grubby[0x8050d02] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xdc)[0xdd57a4] /sbin/grubby[0x804a001] ======= Memory map: ======== 00111000-0011c000 r-xp 00000000 03:03 9493597 /lib/libgcc_s-4.1.0-20060219.so.1 0011c000-0011d000 rwxp 0000a000 03:03 9493597 /lib/libgcc_s-4.1.0-20060219.so.1 003cd000-003ce000 r-xp 003cd000 00:00 0 [vdso] 0044f000-00468000 r-xp 00000000 03:03 9493457 /lib/ld-2.3.90.so 00468000-00469000 r-xp 00018000 03:03 9493457 /lib/ld-2.3.90.so 00469000-0046a000 rwxp 00019000 03:03 9493457 /lib/ld-2.3.90.so 00dc0000-00ee3000 r-xp 00000000 03:03 9493464 /lib/libc-2.3.90.so 00ee3000-00ee6000 r-xp 00122000 03:03 9493464 /lib/libc-2.3.90.so 00ee6000-00ee7000 rwxp 00125000 03:03 9493464 /lib/libc-2.3.90.so 00ee7000-00eea000 rwxp 00ee7000 00:00 0 08048000-08089000 r-xp 00000000 03:03 12145260 /sbin/grubby 08089000-0808c000 rw-p 00041000 03:03 12145260 /sbin/grubby 0808c000-08094000 rw-p 0808c000 00:00 0 091b2000-091d3000 rw-p 091b2000 00:00 0 [heap] b7e00000-b7e21000 rw-p b7e00000 00:00 0 b7e21000-b7f00000 ---p b7e21000 00:00 0 b7f61000-b7f62000 rw-p b7f61000 00:00 0 b7f7a000-b7f7b000 rw-p b7f7a000 00:00 0 bfd65000-bfd7b000 rw-p bfd65000 00:00 0 [stack] /sbin/new-kernel-pkg: line 175: 2670 Aborted /sbin/grubby --remove-kernel=$bootPrefix/$kernelName-$version
I got the same errors during installation of the kernel package, but manually adding the grub.conf entry allowed the kernel to boot normally. Can you attach your grub.conf?
