I received a RHN notice to upgrade my kernel to "kernel-2.4.20-9". However, during the upgrade process I received this error message"I have a client who, at around Jan/03, starting getting this error on big (ie kernel) up2dates. Before that he had up2dated the kernel with no problems. Repeated attempts to up2date and repeated attempts by him (and others) have proven unable to resolve this problem with up2date. Further, customer service does not seem to acknowledge or be interested in solving the problem.
"The package kernel-2.4.20-9 does not have a valid GPG signature. It has been tampered with or corrupted. Continue?"
What should I do? What's the problem? I attached a screenshot of this
error.
He has been able to download the kernel RPMs separately using tools like GetRight on Windows first time, every time, with no problems. This leads me to believe there was a change in the timeouts/restart/whatever configuration of Red Hat up2date servers.
The only solution we have found to-date is to download the kernel RPMs separately, install the kernel RPMs manually (using rpm -i NOT rpm -U), manually edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to make the new kernel the default, reboot, test, etc. and then manually sync the up2date information (up2date -p I think).
If you find a solution which does allow you to up2date kernels, let me know.
