I added this ti /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo: [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base ... exclude=kernel [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus ... includepkgs=kernel and then ran yum install kernel This seems to have done something, for good or bad I am not yet sure. Is this the correct procedure? Sincerely, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
