2.4 kernel to 2.6 kernel upgradation

[Jees Joy]

Hi gurus,

I have a linux box running RedHat 2.4 kernel and applications running on top of it.

I recently installed (rpm -ivh 2.6kernel.rpm), but now when I boot through 2.6 kernel some of my application does not work since it is dependent 2.4 kernel modules. How can I get updated all my dependent modules to 2.6 if I am connect with with net.

Thanks in Advance my friends.

Hi
You will need to upgrade all ur applications one by one. either use rhn or yum to do that.

upgrading 2.4 to 2.6 is however not an good idea.

You should upgrade your OS not just kernel.

Shalom,

the first rule of OS admin has been violated here.

You must check application compatibility prior to upgrading the kernel.

You should rpm -e the kernel and plan a proper upgade. Clearly some of you applications will require an upgrade as well.

go back to the previous kernel, do a full back up, then do a full upgrade/dependency check using up2date, yum, or apt-get.

Once satisfied that everything will work, THEN do a FULL update/upgrade using up2date, yum, or apt-get. If everything works, then great!!! If now, fall back to your backup.
