Martin, I ran : yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update
It downloaded overnight and I ran the upgrade this morning. It both seemed to work and seemed to fail. Failure: during the install of the "kernal" module there was an I/O error and I believe a second failure cat /etc/issue returns: OLPC School Server release 9-0.5.2 Kernel \r on an \m (\l) is this what I should see after update? Success: The install as a whole seems to have completed successfully. # uname -a returns Linux schoolserver.lccnjimeta.org 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 #1 SMP TH Jun 18 12:47:50 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I am guessing that the fc9.686 means fedora 9? That would be success right? when I try to re-run the yum --enablerepo... again it returns: Setting up Upddate Process No Packages marked for Update After running the update ejabberd was still crashing when I started it. However, I hadn't followed the instructions for clearing out ejabberd yet from your first reply. I tried following those steps (after upgrading to .6) and they seem to have worked... The service runs now without crashing, I can ping schoolserver.lccnjimeta.org and 172.18.0.1 successfully #hostname -f returns schoolserver.lccnjimeta.org However, even though I can ping these from my laptop, I can't access the web based jabber interface. I'm certain that they are communicating further, because when I open http://172.18.01/ (without :5280/admin) it leads me to a page telling me that moodle is currently disabled. Any ideas?
