yum - problem installing kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Any help would be appreciated:
I have not been able to install new kernels. When I run yum update, all new packages from the various repositories install successfully, except yum has been stalling on the installation of updated kernels. For example, I recently ran 'yum update' but it stalled while installing kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5. After a while I gave up and hit Crl-C shutting yum down. I then downloaded the rpm and attempted to install it to the same effect - it stalled at some point during the installation process. I hit Ctrl-C and got the following mesage:
error: %post(kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686) scriptlet failed, signal 2

Now, the computer can't decided whether that kernel is installed or not - see below: [barry@localhost Desktop]$ sudo rpm -ivh kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
       package kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5 is already installed
[barry@localhost Desktop]$ sudo rpm -e kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm
error: package kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm is not installed

Here's rpm -q kernel-smp:
kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5
kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2111_FC5
kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5

and grub.conf looks like this  (no 2122 kernel!):
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that

#          initrd /initrd-version.img
