Hi, after upgrading with yum upgrade my server doesn?t boot with kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 d. Kernel CentOS-4 x86_64 (2.6.9-34.EL) works just fine. I use 2 HDD as RAID1. Unfortunaly this is a root server so i do not have any console output. This is rather disappointing cause i run mission critical applications on the server. I guess the updates should be used with more caution. Regards, Christian

Plus "might" break things, that is why there is a plus repo. -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

You always have a good chance of updates breaking things, be it CentOS, Oracle, Microsoft, Solaries, AIX or anything else. Just naming a few I had past experiences of breakage on update. 2) Consider everything outside the Base repository as UNSTABLE. If it were stable enough, it would be on the Base repository. Anyway, good luck. I hope things get fixed for you soon.
