Diffrence in yum update
Hi
I did a yum update with the same repository. on the one x86_64 system the kernel shows as 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5. On the other system it shows as 2.6.18-194.el5. Both are vm systems on the same box. Why did this happen and what is the diffrence between the two kernels? |
Both were updated at the same time?

Hi Yes
i have noticed that before the update the kernels were. 2.6.18-128.el5 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5 respectivley |
Ok this is what i have found.
if you do a yum update on a system with 2.6.18-128.el5 it will only update to 2.6.18-194.el5. Check out the grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1 # initrd /boot/initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-194.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet clock=pit noapic nolapic divider=10 ignore_lost_ticks initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-128.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet clock=pit noapic nolapic divider=10 ignore_lost_ticks initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.el5.img I took the repo from the system with 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 and applied it to the system with 2.6.18-194.el5 and when doing a yum update it says no updates to be applied. I took a system that has the 2.6.18-128.el5 kernel and did a yum update with the repository from the system with the 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 kernel and gave me the grub as above as well as the kernel 2.6.18-194.el5. if i do an update with the same repository files on a system with 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5 kernel via yum . It updated it to 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 kernel now why is this? |
