I shoulda knowd....
Okay, this may seem dumb, but I imagine I've already been there....
Here's what I get when I try the install with rpm:
[root@localhost x86_64]# rpm -ivh kernel-*.rpm

package kernel-2.6.9MHRsmp-1 (which is newer than

Now, I _really_ want to install this, but when I try yum localinstall, I
get this:
[root@localhost x86_64]# yum localinstall kernel-*.rpm

Complete!
[root@localhost x86_64]#
Since this is going to update the two *-devel packages, I need to know
if this is safe to do, i.e., will this damage anything I need to get
back to if the new installed kernel doesn't boot or work right (even
though rpm says it's the same one)?
Thanks again.
