I just tried to do yum update on my 2 fedora 7 boxes, and I get the following error:

I can confirm this!

I tried

yum install mkinitrd and it said nothing to do, any pointers??


The problem is, that the kernel requires a newer version of mkinitrd, which is not available. If it was, yum would have upgraded it without complaints. So it doesn't help, if you manually upgrade mkinitrd.

You can exclude the kernel upgrade, in order to at least update the rest of the packages.

yum -y --exclude="kernel*" update

Wait until, the newer version of mkinitrd is available in the repository!
