Actually - I was wrong, but I'm still confused. I was trying to install kernel-unsupported, which from "rpm -qi kernel-unsupported" is just a supplimental package that installs modules and features that are in the kernel.org kernel but redhat have not QA'd yet. From what I can tell, one still needs to install the "kernel" package as well, which is the base 2.6.0-test kernel. However, if i try to use "up2date --nosig kernel", it tells me that the package is already up to date. How do i tell up2date to install (NOT upgrade) the kernel from arjan's apt repo? I want to use up2date (or similar) so I don't have to go hunting down dependancies - can anybody give me the few simple steps to get the 2.6.0 test kernel installed (separately from the stock 2.4.22 FC kernel)? -dan On 16 Nov 2003, Bret Hughes wrote: > On Sun, 2003-11-16 at 22:44, Dan Goodes wrote: > > Hi folks, > > > > I've been running fedora (FC1) since it was released, and test 3 before > > that, and am happy with it. > > > > I want to try arjan's test kernels from > > > > http://people.redhat.com/~arjanv/2.5/ > > > > I read through some threads on the mailing list, and it seemed the best > > solution would be to just use up2date (since the config is already there). > > > > So I uncommented that line from the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file, and > > ran "up2date kernel-unsupported" (not 100% true - it took a LOT of reading > > to find that I had to run "up2date --nosig kernel-unsupported"). > > > > It seems to downloade the kernel and install it fine, but it doesn't > > appear to install anything - "rpm -qa | grep kernel" shows the > > kernel-unsupported RPM there, but there's no change in /boot/ or in > > /boot/grub/grub.conf > > > > I've searched google for answers but have yet to come up with a solution. > > Anything blindingly obvious I am doing wrong? > > > > Are you sure you did not install the src rpm? > > If you are, then you are saying that there are no new files in /boot? > > Bret > > > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > -- Regards, Dan Goodes : Systems Programmer : dang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Help support PlanetMirror - Australia's largest Internet archive by signing up for PlanetMirror Premium : http://planetmirror.com
