HI, with "exclude" in yum.conf I can exclude kernel-updates via: exclude=kernel* If I use installonlypkgs, what happend exactly? Like: installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-devel kernel-smp-devel kernel-largesmp kernel-largesmp-devel kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-devel What's the difference betwenn update and installonly?

Hi, I have a specific needs that requires yum do not to uninstall old version when install new one. For example, I found that yum install kernel will install new kernel, and old kernel will remained. But yum install <something-else> will uninstall old version after install new one, how to disable it? Thanks.

In order to keep only 3 kernel images on a CentOS 7 I edited /etc/yum.conf and I put installonly_limit=3 This parameter works for standard kernel images, but does not work for rescue images: $ ls -al /boot/vmlinuz* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5027376 May 13 20:46 /boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-2554e2ffad84452bb07401bed0a61089 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3084288 Jun 27 06:42

I have a local yum repository for CentOS4, and from time to time I add new (custom) kernel RPMS. However, when I run 'yum update' on an SMP box, yum 'installs' the new kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-smp packages, but 'updates' the kernel-smp-devel package. i.e. I end up with multiple versions of the kernel, kernel-devel and kernel-smp packages, but only the latest

Sorry - noob-ish question.. I have been having problems on a CentOS 4.2 server following an upgrade to the latest version of SugarCRM (segfaults in Apache and some functions not working). Someone has just posted in the SugarCRM forums that they had exactly the same problems on CentOS 4.2 and they fixed them by upgrading from PHP 4.3.9 to 5.0.5. Being a more cautious chap, I'd like to try an

I have 2 servers: On both, I did yum update. One upgraded the kernel, the other didn't. Why? TIA, Dave Augustus

I just updated to the most recent version of yum. I noticed that my yum.conf file had changed. The old one has: installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-devel kernel-smp-devel kernel-largesmp kernel-largesmp-devel kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-devel The new one does not have this option listed. I don't remember if that was a default setting or if I added it in. Do I need that line to be there? I noticed that without...

This is a list of issues for discussion for CentOS-4. Most of it is based on my experience from building/maintaining CentOS-2 and observing CentOS-3. I have not seen the CentOS-4 beta yet so I don't know if any of this is already done. If these have been discussed on IRC then perhaps someone could produce a shot summary of the outcomes....? * Just call it CentOS-4 not 4.1 etc. Too

I have a plain vanilla Centos source (not 100% sure where we got it from), but I can't seem to get a build that installs correctly. I tried the method described at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel, but rpm doesn't like the output file, and even if I install it with -F, nothing seems to happen - no new kernel, now initrd, nothing. When I tried following the directions in the
