i am feeling problems while updating kernel.
my current kernel version is (kernel-2.6.9-5.EL).
i want to upgrade it to kernel-2.6.9-67.EL.x86_64.rpm.
when i run this rpm i got some dependies issue in /boot file regarding mkinitrd with same version to be installed.as i have another file with .img in /boot.
when i install this i got another dependies error
i.e
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /sbin/grubby from install of mkinitrd-4.2.1.6-1_BB1 conflicts with
file from package mkinitrd-4.1.18-2
file /sbin/mkinitrd from install of mkinitrd-4.2.1.6-1_BB1 conflicts with file from package mkinitrd-4.1.18-2

file /sbin/new-kernel-pkg from install of mkinitrd-4.2.1.6-1_BB1 conflict.

Re: Linux kernel upgradation problem
Upgrade first your dependencies, for example:
rpm -Uvh mknitrd*rpm
After that, install the new kernel package:
rpm -ivh kernel*rpm

Re: Linux kernel upgradation problem
You need to install mkinitrd-*.x86_64.rpm, not source RPM (mkinitrd-*.src.rpm)
rpm -Uvh mkinitrd-4.2.1.6-1.x86_64.rpm

Re: Linux kernel upgradation problem
Linux hostname 2.6.9-55.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Apr 20 16:36:54 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# getconf LONG_BIT
64
befor installing the new kernel(-ivh) [installing the kernel helps to roll back to the previous kernel if required by updating the grub.conf file] update/upgrade all other packages/errdata applicable to the system.
Did u remember about the kernel-utils packge which also need to be upgarded)(-Uvh). My observation is util should beofore the kernel.
keep us posted..
