On one notebook (so far), I have not picked up the new kernel: kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.i686.rpm I have gotten it on some notebooks. So far the only difference I can see between the systems that MIGHT matter is those that got the update were new installs and had not reached 3 installed kernels. The one that failed already had 3 kernels in /boot. But I seem to recall this was about how many to keep in /boot, not when to stop receiving them....

I had looked at the logs just to see what came over, and saw the new kernel. Of course I can't see what the xml is saying is currently available... So then I ran yum update on some of my systems. Some picked up the new kernel one did not (so far).

I suppose I can run a clean and see what happens, but the systems that got the new kernel, got it, and how do you take it back to try again? And the system that that did not get, well, I suppose a clean might see if it gets it now. Stay tuned.

Stay tuned.Yes a yum clean all on the notebook that did not get the kernel is now not only getting the kernel but also: cups and enscript. So I had some problems here. The metadata or dbcache? This is my notebook, and when I am away at conferences, I change my source of update and base to the mirrors, and when I get back I change back to my local repo. That might be why it got lost? I guess I should add a 'yum clean all' whenever I make these changes.... But I guess you did not announce the kernel, but anyone pulling the updates locally would be getting them?
