While trying to get my SD card reader to work with CentOS, it wasrecommended to me that I update to the centosplus kernel. I attempted to do so using yum, as was recommended, but I encountered the following error:
[root@localhost ~]# yum --enablerepo=centosplus update kernel Repository update already added, not adding again Error getting repository data for centosplus, repository not found
So I checked the internet for answers, and it seemed that my/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file might not point to the right place. However, when I compared my centosplus entry in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to examples on the net, it seemed to be correct:
#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0
Why can I not access the repository and install centosplus?
That is correct. What do you get with the command:
yum --enablerepo=centosplus list | grep centosplus
It should give you an output similar to this:
dmapi.i386 2.2.1-1 centosplus dmapi-devel.i386 2.2.1-1 centosplus jfsutils.i386 1.1.7-2 centosplus kernel.i686 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus kernel.i586 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus kernel-devel.i586 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus kernel-devel.i686 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus kernel-hugemem.i686 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus kernel-hugemem-devel.i686 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus kernel-smp.i586 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus kernel-smp-devel.i586 2.6.9-11.106.unsupport centosplus php-bcmath.i386 5.0.4-2.centos4 centosplus php-dba.i386 5.0.4-2.centos4 centosplus php-soap.i386 5.0.4-2.centos4 centosplus php-xml.i386 5.0.4-2.centos4 centosplus reiserfs-utils.i386 2:3.6.19-2 centosplus xfsdump.i386 2.2.25-1 centosplus xfsprogs.i386 2.6.25-1 centosplus xfsprogs-devel.i386 2.6.25-1 centosplus
(you should have some other items, as I have some centosplus items installed and installed items don't show up in this list)
If that doesn't work, what is the output of the command:
rpm -q yum centos-yumconf centos-release
