CentOS - Nov 2006 - CentOS for s390 (release 4.3 or 4.4)

Hi,

(not sure if my previous post worked)

I'm using CentOS 4.2 for s390 and I'm thinking to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4
(it is installed under an hercules emulator)

Looking on the site it seems to me that these version are not available
for s390 but I can see it in the ftp site as ISO image.

I suppose these release as still beta.

Comments from anyone that have try it ?

Regards.

Luca Masini.

You should be able to use yum to upgrade to 4.4 without any issues.

Hi,

you can do the following - shud work fine without any issues:

yum update yum  ( get the latest version of yum )

yum update centos-release ( To update to latest release )

rpm --rebuilddb -vv  ( not required - just for the heck )

yum update

That should upgrade all the packages ( if you see any error - u will have to 
do a bit of trouble shooting )

After update check kernel:
yum list kernel

Update grub and reboot into new kernel. I upgraded from 4.1 to 4.4 on 2 
servers and it went fine.
