[CentOS] Centos 6.4 - yum update gives: Error: kernel conflicts with bfa-firmware
On trying a yum update I get the following error: Error: kernel conflicts with bfa-firmware yum suggests I work around the problem with --skip-broken or try running 'rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest' Is there an accepted process for resolving this? -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNP, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 7983 877438 http://www.coochey.net http://www.netsecspec.co.uk giles at coochey.net

Also, what are you upgrading from? We have not seen this specific issue in our QA testing. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
