# rpm -i cman-1.0.11-0.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
cman-kernel-modules >= 2.6.9 is needed by cman-1.0.11-0.i686

And when try to install cman-kernel

#rpm -i cman-kernel-2.6.9-45.2.i686.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.EL is needed by cman-kernel-2.6.9-45.2.i686

And same problem is happening to DLM rpms.

How can i solve this dependency problem.. From where to arrange these modules ?? Please advice and guide me ??

Thanks for support

You do have the 2.6.9-42 kernel(this one exactly) installed?? I did not see the css package listed, perhaps an oversite on your part??

Try installing all at the same time: rpm -ivh *.rpm

(I'm running SL5 and the result is expected);

Hi

First of all many thanks for help!

Yeah ccs is already installed , but for Cman and DLM rpms , as you said infact it seems to be missing required kernel version issue ... as i dont have kernel 2.6.9-42 installed. When i ran rpm command with test parameter , it showed me failed dependency error for Kernel version 2.6.9-42

#rpm -ivh *.rpm --test
warning: ccs-1.0.7-0.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

And in /lib/modules directory , i dont have 2.6.9-42 available, only 2.6.9-5 available

ls -al /lib/modules

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 6 2005 kabi-4.0-0smp

Question: what should be the procedure to upgrade this kernel to 2.6.9-42, any procedure ?? From where i can get this upgraded kernel rpm ?? Please advice ???

Thanks again for help and guidance to me !!!

With your RHN subscription download the new kernel and install it. Might as well grab all the other updates as well, a fair number of updates have been released since RHEL4 update 4 was released. In fact RHEL4 update 5 is due out shortly.

https://www.redhat.com/rhn/rhndetails/update/

If you do not have a valid subscription then you really should consider getting one or switching to one of the 100% binary compatible freely available Enterprise-class Linux Distributions like CentOS or Scientific Linux.
