On top of my previously (just now) difficulties with yum, now I find that the 53.1.6 kernel is not installing properly. When I run "yum update" to install it, the install hangs here: Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================Installing: kernel x86_64 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 updates 15 M Transaction Summary ============================================================================Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 15 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/1): kernel-2.6.18-53.1 100% |=========================| 15 MB 03:26 Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: kernel ######################### [1/1] If I kill this with ^C, it thinks it has installed the kernel, but the kernel is not in my grub.conf. Rpm also thinks it is installed. I can remove it with rpm -e, but then rpm -ivh won't install it either. It also hangs, at the same point. Here's what I see when I type ^C: error: %post(kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, signal 2 (Yes, I know, signal 2 is SIGINT, which is what ^C does.) BUT rpm thinks it has installed the kernel even though the /boot partition has not been updated and the grub.conf file also does not show it. Any constructive assistance would be appreciated. mhr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Sounds like maybe space is tight? Kernel made it in, but not grub.conf? Also, on my 5 box, there is no grub/grub.conf, like there is on 4. It's just menu.lst Further, I discovered by outside-the-box activities that the update may be sensitive to the contents of menu.lst. For sure, any changes to the title lines.
