Topic: Kernel Update Error

[RoryS]

Good Day All,

I have SME 7.3 running. An update "kernel.i686 2.6.9-67.0.7.plus.c4" is trying to install.  A number of times I have run yum update as well as from the server manager. After the reconfigure and reboot the update is again available.

It also seems that this problem has corrupted the VPN service as none of the mobile users can VPN into the server.

Any ideas or direction.

Thanks

Rory

Hmm...  Have you enabled the centosplus repo?

I have enabled centosplus.  When running update this is the error that appears

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /boot/System.map-2.6.9-67.0.7.plus.c4 smp;47f20105: cpio: write

Ciao

Opps.. walked you into that one

Best to only have the 5 standard repos enabled for a successful update. The wiki should have them listed.

That said, the kernel should install 'correctly'.

At the end of the day your kernel modules have to match your kernel.

For example.... a bad example...

[root@tiger ~]# uname -r
2.6.9-67.0.1.ELsmp
[root@tiger ~]# rpm -qa | grep kmod
kmod-slip-1.0-2.2.6.9_67.0.4.EL
kmod-appletalk-smp-1.0-2.2.6.9_67.0.4.EL
kmod-ppp-1.0.2-2.2.6.9_67.0.4.EL
kmod-ppp-smp-1.0.2-2.2.6.9_67.0.4.EL
kmod-slip-smp-1.0-2.2.6.9_67.0.4.EL
kmod-appletalk-1.0-2.2.6.9_67.0.4.EL
[root@tiger ~]#

You won't be able to install/update any more kernels as it appears that you have run out of room on /boot.  You need to remove some of your older kernels and make room for newer ones.  This issue has been addressed in the bug tracker, see this bug for more details: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2101
