Hi, I have one centOS 4.4 with apache and some services. I want to upgrade to version 5 running:

Yum -y -c /etc/yum.repos.d/base_centos upgrade

Where the file bases_centos has:

[base] name=CentOS-5 - Base baseurl=ftp://repository.mydomain/centos/5/os/i386 gpgcheck=0 timeout=1800

And, repository.mydomain is a mirror of mirror.centos.org

It began to download all headers until I get this error:

Error: Missing Dependency: libnewt.so.0.51 is needed by package crypto-utils Error: Missing Dependency: libnewt.so.0.51 is needed by package newt-perl Error: Unable to satisfy dependencies Error: Package initscripts needs kernel < 2.6.12, this is not available.

Any ideas?

You are an extremely brave soul. If I were you and depending upon just how mission critical this server is, I would definitely backup web server, DNS/DHCP (if used) Mailserver and any other critical services that you've got configured on this machine and do a fresh install.

directly upgrading a workstation is one thing, but doing a server just seems like a Very bad idea to me.

You could always try following the upgrade instructions from the release announcement. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-April/013660.html
