Please look at the file "/var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt" and see the first server from that list. If it is not a belnet.be mirror, please tell me which one it is, as it may be out of date.
According to Bob's earlier post, he does not seem to have the fastestmirror plugin. So he probably does not have that file...
Bob, do a 'yum install yum-fastestmirror' and try again.
Did so. No help. FYI no timedhosts.txt in the rpm. I still think the problem lies in yum's message "Could not find update match for kernel".
timedhosts.txt is NOT in the rpm. It is created when you run yum and contains the names of the mirror sites yum tried to access. Johnny wanted to know which site yum attempted to use. If you do not see this file even after yum was run, then something is amiss there.
My bad! It's there. I was looking in the wrong directory and didn't notice until later. The file currently contains:
mirror.centos.org 1.90688800812
Shouldn't yum update kernel update all kernel rpms installed? Rpm -q kernel returns all kernel rpm's I have installed (ie kernel-2.6.18-8.el5 kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5)
I tried this (yum update kernel) which reported: Could not find update match for kernel. How do I find what arch yum is using? This may be a clue why the kernel only is not being updated. This is what uname -rmpi returns:
uname -rmpi 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 i686 i686 i386
