It sounds like the last kernel upgrade didn't finish the %post% scripts. The easiest thing to try would be to rpm -e the new kernel and try a yum upgrade again. Another thing to check... Is there a symlink from /boot/grub/menu.lst to /boot/grub/grub.conf? I have had that on my systems since time began and maybe it is a requirement for things to work right. Just a guess.
Scott: Great! If I can locate kernel-headers-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 and kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 I can use the rpm -e command to remove them and then yum update again and that should update the kernel in her box. How do I locate them? Practicing on my box (wife is using her box) and rpm -qi shows a lot of information about the files but doesn't show where they are located. TIA, Lanny
