Here's what's happening here:
I "yum" update the kernel and this started from version 2.6.4-1.300
which i am still stuck on because i cannot update to a later kernel
created in rawhide or by arjanv. I am using Fedora Core 1 with some
updated stuff from rawhide. So look at what the message says at the end
-
>>[root@gmaeding Linux]# yum -y update kernel

Running test transaction:
Test transaction complete, Success!
memory alloc (4 bytes) returned NULL.<<
Now I googled the net for this and only came up with one good hit which
was a guy who ran into this problem related to rpm on RH version 7.2
which isnt the case here. The rest are garbage. I checked bugzilla for
redhat and couldnt find one matching this kind of thing. If you could
find one, please do let me know. But no matter what kind of kernel im
trying to update, i get that same "memory alloc (4 bytes) returned NULL"
message and end up not having an updated kernel to test out. Any help
here?
