I understand that, but the new kernel modules for drbd have 'centos' identifier instead of 'c4'. kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.x86_ 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.ELlarge 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp.x 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.plus.c4 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.plus.c4 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.10.plus.c4 0.7.23-1.el4.centos extras versus kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL.x86_6 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.ELlarges 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp.x8 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.plus.c4. 0.7.23-1.c4 extras kernel-module-drbd-2.6.9-42.0.8.plus.c4l 0.7.23-1.c4 extras Does that make a difference, will yum recognize it as a upgrade or dependency from the current version? Also I didn't install the standard kernel I did a yum update from 2.6.9-42.0.8.plus.c4smp and it went ahead and installed the standard? Maybe the mirror hadn't received all the updates yet and it decided the standard was the best candidate? -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
