the only area that should not have lvm on it is the /boot any other partition should be ok. i have my root as a lvm partition --- Paul Pianta pantz@lqt.ca wrote:

Hi people
I am new to this list - actually I am one of
(probably) a few who are
jumping ship from WBEL. I feel like a bit of a
scab jumping over at this
time - but we all make mistakes eh?
I have installed CentOS and ran 'yum update' and
installed everything it
prompted me for. After a reboot, I realised I
had booted into the same
original kernel-2.4.21-20.EL.c0smp and not the
updated one -
kernel-2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp.
Upon further inspection I found that there was
no entry made in
grub.conf for the new kernel, and there is no
initrd in /boot for this
new kernel.
Could someone please explain what has happened
and whether it is normal
behaviour or not? I am used to updating a kernel
with yum and having all
of the grub stuff done automatically for me :/
Now that I might have to
do it manually myself I am getting all sooky and
so came to this list to
cry for help (and coz I'm a lazy bastard!).
Odd. yum doesn't even put the line in your grub.conf
for the kernel to exist
it just sets the default did your mkinitrd script not run? did you see an
error?
I didn't see any errors and there is nothing in /var/log/yum.log except: --snip-- [root@lab-113 root]# cat /var/log/yum.log Dec 10 11:34:47 Installed: kernel-smp 2.4.21-20.0.1.EL.i686 Dec 10 11:34:47 Installed: kernel 2.4.21-20.0.1.EL.i686 Dec 10 11:34:47 Updated: cups 1:1.1.17-13.3.16.i386 Dec 10 11:34:47 Updated: samba-client 3.0.7-1.3E.1.i386 Dec 10 11:34:47 Updated: gdk-pixbuf 1:0.22.0-11.3.3.i386 --snip--
I'm actually trying to install Xen on this machine and I had setup the / partition on LVM which I think is a no-no. Instead of screwing around with it I'm just gonna reinstall. Will keep you updated on how 'yum update' treats the kernel this time ...
thanks
