The kernel specfile contains: %define rhbsys %([ -r /etc/beehive-root -o -n "%{?__beehive_build}" ] && echo || echo .`whoami`) %define release %(R="$Revision: 34 $"; RR="${R##: }"; echo ${RR%%?}).EL%{rhbsys} which basically defines rhbsys as the output of "whoami", and uses that in the release string. So you need to install either the redhat supplied kernel (or something that pretends that it is - you can redefine rhbsys if needed - though not recommended. I've had to do that because some third party apps have depeneded on the version string to determine ABI compatibility, so the jstanley in there threw it all off - then I redefined it to be something absurd like 2.6.9-22.0.99 so that it would never be confused with a RH kernel, and the basis was still obvious, and the script worked), or modify the cman-kernel specfile to look for the new release of the kernel (probably the path of least resistance). -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
