Yum, by default, ignores packages that match "kernel*". Edit your /etc/yum.conf file to change this. Yum on 7.x mimics up2date on 7.x which did the same (ignore kernel by default). > 2.)

This list is mostly for things related to the Fedora Legacy project. Red Hat currently hosts, and will continue to host, a end user mailing list for Red Hat Linux, with specific lists for each release. I can't recall off the top of my head what the code name for 7.3 was, but the list will be named after the codename. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
