Hi Folks,
I've been using CentOS for 2 month and I'm very pleased about this nice distro. But now there a the new version 4.4 and my question: I'm using the kernel from centosplus because of reiserfs. What have I to do now? Waiting for an update from centosplus?
Please give me a hint.
Thx Timothy

The 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 kernel has already been released. You should be able to get it from centosplus now.

Ordinarily yes, however the kernel from 4.4 was released a week or so ago as it was a security update. the current kernel (2.6.9-42.0.2) in centosplus should be what you want.

Okay,
the kernel 2.6.9-42.0.2.plus.c4 is running on my machine. Updated from centosplus. What's about all the other 165 packages announced in Up2date? Can I update these packages without furthermore problems?
I have
exclude=php* kernel* postfix*
from base and update.
Now I get the message in Up2date, that the kernel-utils 2.4-13.1.83 marked to left out. Is this okay or can I update these kernel-utils too.

Perfectly safe to go ahead and do. the only potential issue would be a timeout to the mirror you're updating from because around release time, EVERYONE is hitting the mirrors. You should also really use yum instead of up2date.

You'll want the updated kernel-utils, yes. That's what has smartd, cpuspeed, dmidecode and a bunch of other good utils in it.

Okay - and thanks

I've tried but I get these error-message:
Processing Dependency: amavisd-new = 2.4.2-1.el4.rf for package: amavisd-new-milter --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: amavisd-new = 2.4.2-1.el4.rf is needed by package amavisd-new-milter
and yum canceld :-( And now...??? Installed is amavisd-new 2.4.2-1.el4.rf
yum is trying to install ---> Package amavisd-new.noarch 0:2.4.2-2.el4.kb set to be updated
I think this is the problem. But what's about a solution

You are mixing similar/same packages from two separate repositories. Pick a repository to use for a specific application, and stay with it. If you use kb then exclude that package from dag/rpmforge. If you want to use it from dag/rpmforge, then exclude it from kb. There are some plugins for yum that can help you do this. The easy solution would be to disable one or both rpmforge/dag and kb repositories whilst you update the base/updates repos.

Thanks - I did not know that. As I wrote before - I'm new on CentOS. I'll do it in such a way like you'd said.
Thx Timothy
