If you enable the kernel from the CentOSPlus repo, you should *disable* kernel updates from the standard repo, otherwise yum will get updates from *both* places. By disabling the kernel packages from being updated from the standard repos (os and updates), yum won't update to a non CentOSPlus kernel -- if the CentOSPlus has not been pushed to the CentOSPlus repo, you just won't get a new kernel at all. (Eventually when the CentOSPlus does get pushed, yum will pick it up.) > > Regards, > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / heller at deepsoft.com Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
