Obsolete isn't the right thing to do, because if you have a 686 CPU that can't do PAE, having kernel obsoleted by kernel-PAE is the wrong thing to do. > we should definitely discuss how this upgrade is supposed to work, > though I'm inclined to suggest: > > yum upgrade > #if you think you need the PAE kernel > yum instal kernel-PAE If you have kernel.i686 installed, yum update should update it to kernel.i586 Migrating from .i686 -> .i686-PAE is something needs to be done either by anaconda, or by hand. (Unless you want to add a 'detect PAE' plugin to yum too). Before we made the changes to the kernel package, I was told that the 686->586 case would be handled by yum already, but it seems that isn't the case?
