FC7: Installing 'transcode' - "hal conflicts with kernel < 2.6.17"
I'm trying to install, among others, ffmpeg, transcode, and suchlike on a clean FC7 box.
I keep hitting a brick wall because of some package called 'hal'. I get this message: Code:
Error: hal conflicts with kernel < 2.6.17 Code:
# uname -r Google searches, and a search on here brings up no mention of the issue on FC7. Does anyone have any suggestions? Mucho thanko in advance :) |
It isn't an issue on FC7, because you didn't install an FC7 kernel. The "el5" designation indicates that you installed a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 kernel. I'm surprised this is your only problem.
|
Try again, this time boot to the non-xen kernel.
|
hm, that's odd, because all i did was
Code:
yum install kernel edit: for a little more info, it's a base install on a xen VM.. there's no other option for this project. just in case that affects booting from a non-xen kernel... |
List the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d/ . If you have the repos for the wrong distro installed (and it looks like you do) you will not be able to get it fixed until this is cleared up.

I would open up the freshrpms and see if you got the el5 one by mistake. Just use a text editor.
|
Freshrpms does not have kernels. With that configuration, the only way you got that kernel is with a manual install.

Only use Freshrpms for a couple of things so I missed that.
The only other possibility is if a repo got added to /etc/yum.conf which would be unusual. |

Which version of Red Hat / Fedora are you running???
cat /etc/*release While I do agree that Freshrpms has no kernels the fedora repos do, you may want to disable them. You may want to also install the rpmforge repo as directed here: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B because of your running kernel...... Quote:

I can't see that the rpmforge thing is supported on FC7 :( |
I would hold off installing something new until you figure out how you got that el kernel.
As you boot you will see it say something like booting to kernel blah in x second. Usually you can hit any key, choose any of the installed kernels and then boot. |
OK so you seem to have F7 installed, you have no need for the rpmforge repo because of this.
Like lazow said, how did you get the RHEL kernel installed?? Please list the ones you do have installed; rpm -qa 'kernel*' |
