That is not irrelevant information. Guang is telling you that you can find the createrepo RPM on the SDK iso so that you can install it on the mgmt node (if it is not already) in order to re-run createpo. That is, if you decide that adding the updated kernel RPMs into the main repository under

Have you considered just adding the update kernel packages into the main OS repo? You can then specify in the .pkglist file to use the new kernel versions during install (although it should use the newer ones by default). On 10/26/2012 3:19 AM, Francois Bissey wrote: > I don't want to have to

What is the issue you are trying to resolve that does not allow for adding the updated kernel into otherpkgs and doing the install via postbootscripts? On 10/25/2012 9:46 PM, François Bissey wrote: > On Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:13:03 François Bissey wrote: >> On Fri, 26 Oct 2012 10:09:11 Xiao Peng W
