Just tried to update the kernel. This is the first time I have tried doing this with yum. Here is the output: -------------------------------------------------- I will do the following: [install: kernel 2.6.6-1.427.i686] [update: cvs 1.11.17-2.i386] Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages Getting kernel-2.6.6-1.427.i686.rpm kernel-2.6.6-1.427.i686.r 100% |=========================| 13 MB 00:15 Getting cvs-1.11.17-2.i386.rpm cvs-1.11.17-2.i386.rpm 100% |=========================| 1.2 MB 00:01 Running test transaction: Test transaction complete, Success! cvs 100 % done 1/3 kernel 100 % done 2/3 /sbin/mkinitrd: line 294: /sbin/nash: No such file or directory /sbin/mkinitrd: line 294: /sbin/nash: No such file or directory /sbin/mkinitrd: line 294: /sbin/nash: No such file or directory /sbin/mkinitrd: line 294: /sbin/nash: No such file or directory no temporary directory could be found mkinitrd failed Completing update for cvs - 3/3 Kernel Updated/Installed, checking for bootloader Grub found - making this kernel the default Installed: kernel 2.6.6-1.427.i686 Updated: cvs 1.11.17-2.i386 Transaction(s) Complete [gc@sirius ~]$ uname -a Linux sirius 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [gc@sirius ~]$ whereis nash nash: /sbin/nash /usr/share/man/man8/nash.8.gz [gc@sirius ~]$ -------------------------------------------------------------- And the new kernel is not offered as an option on the Grub bootup page.
