Not related to this issue, but I have found a server where the new yum
does not update default kernels correctly ("Could not determine the
default kernel!). The only thing I see that could cause this, is that
the server does not have a boot partition, so this is grub.conf (after
manually updating default to 0):
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have no /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title CentOS (2.4.21-50.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-50.EL ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-50.EL.img
title CentOS (2.4.21-47.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-47.EL ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.21-47.EL.img
Is it possible that not having a boot partition is the reason for this
failure? Otherwise I could try to look more closely.
Best Regards
