I checked with top before the interrupt and yum/rpm was nowhere in sight on a 50 line terminal screen, and with ps to ensure that there was no time being used by that process (ps showed that it had used a total of 14 seconds of time and did not budge from there for at least five minutes. I know (by now) not to be impatient with this sort of thing - kernels are tricky enough to work with when they work 100%.. The first time, I was surprised that it had taken so long and not finished - that's when I started to investigate. I'm thinking it might be something I installed that might have interfered, but the last successful install I did was ecasound and vobcopy, both from reliable repos, and the last unsuccessful install was k9copy which didn't like my gnome desktop or my CentOS (it's a Fedora package), so I gave up on it.

[CentOS] Problem installing the 53.1.6 kernel
On top of my previously (just now) difficulties with yum, now I find that the 53.1.6 kernel is not installing properly. When I run "yum update" to install it, the install hangs here: Dependencies Resolved = Package Arch Version RepositorySize = Installing: kernel x86_64 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 updates15 M Transaction Summary = Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 15 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: (1/1): kernel-2.6.18-53.1 100% |=| 15 MB 03:26 Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing: kernel # [1/1] If I kill this with ^C, it thinks it has installed the kernel, but the kernel is not in my grub.conf. Rpm also thinks it is installed. I can remove it with rpm -e, but then rpm -ivh won't install it either. It also hangs, at the same point. Here's what I see when I type ^C: error: %post(kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, signal 2 (Yes, I know, signal 2 is SIGINT, which is what ^C does.) BUT rpm thinks it has installed the kernel even though the /boot partition has not been updated and the grub.conf file also does not show it. Any constructive assistance would be appreciated. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
