Hi, In the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date make sure that the following lines do not contain 'kernel': pkgSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including wildcards, to skip pkgSkipList=; fileSkipList[comment]=A list of file names, optionally including wildcards, to skip fileSkipList=; Then rerun up2date. Hope this helps. -C Juckins markaoki wrote: > hi, > > my last Up2Date (channel: scientific base > ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/44/i386/SL/RPMS/) > brought in kernel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL recently. > > however, I only see kernel-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL in that ftp directory. > > A search for '2.6.9-42.0.10' turns up nothing. > > Can someone please tell me were Up2Date pulled that > kernel-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL from? > > > thanks, have a good day...well, night here...very late* > -yma
