First issue: I did an upgrade from 4.7 to 5.3 on an HP DL380G3 box.
I got yum working again and upgraded 160+ packages. During that
process I saw:
-------------------------------------------
Installing : kernel-PAE [157/322]
WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5PAE, continuing anyway
Installing : kernel [158/322]
WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5, continuing anyway
-------------------------------------------
Since I'm running with SCSI drives on that box and lsmod shows me
this:
-------------------------------------------
# ./lsmod | grep mpt
mptctl 31301 1
mptsas 37193 0
scsi_transport_sas 30529 1 mptsas
mptspi 23625 0
scsi_transport_spi 26305 1 mptspi
mptfc 21829 0
mptscsih 36929 3 mptsas,mptspi,mptfc
scsi_transport_fc 37449 1 mptfc
mptbase 76901 5 mptctl,mptsas,mptspi,mptfc,mptscsih
scsi_mod 141589 17
mptctl,ib_iser,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi,scsi_transport_iscsi,scsi_dh,st,sg,mptsas,scsi_transport_sas,mptspi,scsi_transport_spi,mptfc,mptscsih,scsi_transport_fc,cciss,sd_mod
-------------------------------------------
I'm a bit worried about rebooting the system. Should I be? Did
some other driver take over the responsibilities of the mptscsi
driver?
Second issue: I also had to remove some repositories from yum, do a
"yum clean all", and still manually remove a few more packages before yup
update would work. There are still quite a few "el4" packages left
on the system even now. History:
# history
1006 yum update;date
1007 yum clean all
1008 yum update;date
1009 yum remove freetype-utils cyrus-imapd-murder cyrus-imapd-nntp
1010 yum update;date
1011 yum remove seamonkey
1012 yum update;date
1013 rpm -qa | grep -i el4
Some of the el4 packages that are left are probably one's that I
installed by hand outside the yum repository scheme, but certainly
not all of them are. I expected the upgrade off DVD and then the
"yum update" to take care of most of those.
