How can I install kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL via yum? Can I grab the rpm from somewhere and do a local install?
It is in the updates repo for your arch:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-3 4.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
or
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/x86_64/RPMS/kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9 -34.0.1.EL.x86_64.rpm
Once downladed install like this:
rpm -ivh kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
or
rpm -ivh kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.x86_64.rpm
(or you can remove the package with rpm -e kernel-smp-devel ... then
yum install kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686
or
yum install kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.x86_64 )
I found the updates repo shortly after sending the first email. I followed your second suggestion and was able to have "yum install" see it after removing the old package.
Why is the "rpm -e" required? It seems like I should be able to do "yum update" and specify the package version as long as it is newer than what is currently installed.
