apt-get doesn't work either. The following is the output of apt-get (it had been run 
before and that's why the "already installed" in the first step):


[root@chrome ~]# rpm -Uvh

I am not sure "apt-get update" should check the "40" data in the "apt-get update" 
statement, and the "apt-get upgrade-kernel" does not seem to work.
