The %posttrans scriptlet for the kernel package was interrupted by the SIGHUP signal. No idea what might have broken, but I'd suggest reinstalling that package 'yum resintall kernel-2.6.32-573.26.1.el6.x86_64' and make sure it worked. A HUP signal is often sent when the terminal closes. Perhaps you were running the update over SSH and disconnected prematurely? Or your configuration management was interrupted? -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

I have reinstalled the kernel package as instructed and will reboot the system after close of business today to see if that clears things up. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
