The following have been installed on the system, via kickstart and running 'yum -y update' from the post script: kernel-2.4.21-4.EL kernel-smp-2.4.21-4.EL kernel-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL kernel-smp-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL These have been added later by yum update. kernel-2.4.21-20.EL kernel-smp-2.4.21-20.EL Removed the first 4 ones, so it's not really clear at which time those were added. But it seems I got confused as UP and SMP kernel were installed in parallel. I'll double-check the next installed systems and come back if there should really be a problem. Thx for your fast answers and keep the great work! Michael Heiming - RHCE
