The Initial OS installation on this node was SL 4.4 (X86_64) (installed
every
modules) on March 2007 and I have updated to SL4.7 by YUM step by step
at the each minor release and then updated to SL5.3 by anaconda with two
DVD-iso images recently . After that, I have removed many old kernels and
kernel modules by hand (rpm -el).
Cheers,
Takashi Ichihara
