RE: Problems with building a complete kernel

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



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
Preparing...                ###########################################

        package kernel-2.6.9MHRsmp-1 (which is newer than
kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.mhr) is already installed
[root@localhost x86_64]#

Now, I _really_ want to install this, but when I try yum localinstall, I
get this:

[root@localhost x86_64]# yum localinstall kernel-*.rpm

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.
