Hi

Following problem: i have a VDS and just installed a regular CentOS 6.0 
Image which was shown by the provider in the web UI.
After installing and doing a yum update i got:
   Installing     : kernel-2.6.32-279.19.1.el6.x86_64                    
139/327
grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template
   Updating       : lldpad-0.9.43-20.el6_3.x86_64                        
140/327

When i now enable some other repository like elrepo this will totaly 
destroy my machine.
Also, whatever changes the grub.conf to the newest kernel, isnt doing 
that, because it will still start the old kernel.

Any ideas except changing the provider?

Thanks :)
