[root@scarbo9 ~]# yum update kernel
try running a yum update or a : yum update kernel e2fsprogs, so they both get updated in the same transaction.
Did that - to no avail. Shouldn't package dependencies take care for them to update in the same transaction?
Loading "allowdowngrade" plugin
this might be whats causing the kernel package to not get updated..
Disabled all yum plugins to make sure, didn't help.
The mirror that you are pointed to is not updated. Are you pointing to your own mirror or the default ones.
This is normally caused when someone has the 5.0 BASE repo and the 5.1 updates repo. That _WILL_NOT_WORK_ .... as both base and updates are different for 5.0 and 5.1.
You have to point to /5.1/os/ AND /5.1/updates/ ... can not point to /5.0/os and /5.1/updates/ (5.1 as a whole is a tree ... it can not be mixed and matched with 5.0.)
AFAIR I never changed the mirror settings after install from DVD. The lines in CentOS-Base.repo look like
[base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/
So baseurl is commented out. But changing this does not help.
If that is NOT the problem (ie, you are using mirrors from our "mirrorlist=" list or mirror.centos.org as your "baseurl=" in CentOS-Base.repo) then do:
yum clean all
yum -d3 upgrade kernel
That should give you some more detail about the error.
I can't see anything useful:
