Problem installing the 53.1.6 kernel

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



On top of my previously (just now) difficulties with yum, now I find that the 53.1.6 kernel is not installing properly.

When I run "yum update" to install it, the install hangs here:

  Installing: kernel                       ######################### [1/1]

If I kill this with ^C, it thinks it has installed the kernel, but the kernel is not in my grub.conf.  Rpm also thinks it is installed.

I can remove it with rpm -e, but then rpm -ivh won't install it either.  It also hangs, at the same point.

Here's what I see when I type ^C:

error: %post( kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, signal 2

(Yes, I know, signal 2 is SIGINT, which is what ^C does.)

BUT rpm thinks it has installed the kernel even though the /boot partition has not been updated and the grub.conf file also does not show it.

Any constructive assistance would be appreciated.
