install of kernel 2.6.4-1.298 does not work

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

 



when I ran up2date today it appeared to install kernel 2.6.4-1.298. There were no errors reported. But it did not update grub as usual, it did not put any files in /boot, and when I do rpm -q kernel it does not show 2.6.4-1.298 (It shows the other kernels 253 etc)
[root@old1 boot]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.242
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.246
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1


Below are the messages in the up2date log file.

[root@old1 boot]#


This shows (supposedly) that all those packages were updated. If the kernel was not installed when the log says it was, how many others were not really updated?

another problem is that I use grub! ( have never used lilo on this box) and it was not updated. the log shows that the kernel install tried to update lilo.

btw I am running in enforcing mode as root (with role sysmgr_r): Where do I start with the bug reports?
the kernel 'cause it did not install?
up2date because it did not report any errors when something was very worng?
selinux policy? there are hundreds of avc denied messages...
please let me know how to proceed with getting my system updated in enforcing mode
and if there is additional information I can provide. the messages file is 796261 bytes and I have saved a copy.
thanks,
