First issue: I did an upgrade from 4.7 to 5.3 on an HP DL380G3 box. I got yum working again and upgraded 160+ packages. During that process I saw: ------------------------------------------- Installing : kernel-PAE [157/322] WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5PAE, continuing anyway Installing : kernel [158/322] WARNING: No module mptscsi found for kernel 2.6.18-128.2.1.el5, continuing anyway ------------------------------------------- Since I'm running with SCSI drives on that box and lsmod shows me this: ------------------------------------------- # ./lsmod | grep mpt mptctl 31301 1 mptsas 37193 0 scsi_transport_sas 30529 1 mptsas mptspi 23625 0 scsi_transport_spi 26305 1 mptspi mptfc 21829 0 mptscsih 36929 3 mptsas,mptspi,mptfc scsi_transport_fc 37449 1 mptfc mptbase 76901 5 mptctl,mptsas,mptspi,mptfc,mptscsih scsi_mod 141589 17 mptctl,ib_iser,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi,scsi_transport_iscsi,scsi_dh,st,sg,mptsas,scsi_transport_sas,mptspi,scsi_transport_spi,mptfc,mptscsih,scsi_transport_fc,cciss,sd_mod ------------------------------------------- I'm a bit worried about rebooting the system. Should I be? Did some other driver take over the responsibilities of the mptscsi driver? Second issue: I also had to remove some repositories from yum, do a "yum clean all", and still manually remove a few more packages before yup update would work. There are still quite a few "el4" packages left on the system even now. History: # history 1006 yum update;date 1007 yum clean all 1008 yum update;date 1009 yum remove freetype-utils cyrus-imapd-murder cyrus-imapd-nntp 1010 yum update;date 1011 yum remove seamonkey 1012 yum update;date 1013 rpm -qa | grep -i el4 Some of the el4 packages that are left are probably one's that I installed by hand outside the yum repository scheme, but certainly not all of them are. I expected the upgrade off DVD and then the "yum update" to take care of most of those. -- Curt Mills, WE7U hacker at fluke dot com Senior Methods Engineer/SysAdmin "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math!"
