I am trying to update my cluster servers to a newer kernel. As the csgfs stuff is not updated for 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL yet, I have to use 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.
If I specify to update the cluster packages, yum will automatically find the proper kernel package to meet the dependency. The problem is that I also need the kernel-smp-devel package installed so that I can build a new AoE driver. It doesn't get installed via dependencies and I can't figure out how to install it manually.
Hints anyone?
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?
Replying to myself...
I was able to find the rpm by using the websites referenced in the repo. I can update everything else using yum and then install this one package manually and things should work fine.
This still leaves me with a question, though. If I can find the rpm by looking in the repo, why can't yum find it? Does it refuse to show old packages even when the version is specified?
