I am trying to update a centos box with an unsupported kernel (for XFS support):
[root@snowybunting /]# uname -a Linux snowybunting.homelinux.net 2.6.9-34.106.unsupportedsmp #1 SMP Sat Mar 18 16:22:41 CST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
To update I did:
yum update python-sqlite yum clean all yum update yum yum clean all yum update
..and I get the following
91 packages excluded due to repository protection
<bunch of stuff deleted>
--> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: libibverbs --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: libsdp --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: dapl --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: libmthca --> Processing Dependency: kernel-ib for package: librdmacm --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package libibverbs Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package libsdp Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package dapl Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package libmthca Error: Missing Dependency: kernel-ib is needed by package librdmacm
I unprotected the repositories in /etc/yum.repo.d, then reran:
yum update
...and I get the same missing dependencies errors. I don't know if I have too many things going on at once with the unsupported kernel and updating the whole base, but as of now I'm kind of stuck. Any thoughts?
