The "best practices" thing to do here is to actually build RPMs from your updated kernel. (Which, if you know how to build a kernel, shouldn't actually be very difficult to learn.) In addition to allowing yum to work correctly, you also get the advantage of having a packaged-up version of what you did, for use on other systems or for when you do the next update. Failing that, you could just install but not use the required kernel package. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
