Re: Updating the kernel of a RedHat 7.3

["Miguel González Castaños" <mgc@tid.es>]

Many thanks to all for your answers.

Answering Terry White about installing a kernel from kernel.org, I am
installing a Dell Server, and their support suggest to install the redhat
kernels, not the regular ones from kernel.org because this kernel fix and adds
stuff that are not in the regular kernel. I suppose that these kernels have
patches added in it. I dont know if it is true or not, but I need to update
the box pretty quickly and I´d rather prefer to follow the instructions of the
provider (suppose they have tried what they say first).

 Keith:

 Yes, you were right, you understood my bad English. I was talking about the
progress indicator of RPM.

 I checked the rpm db and all the kernels are in it, and the progress
indicator of the installation of the kernel reached the 50 %, but it was
followed by the kernel-smp, which really reached the 100 %. It got close to
fill up the partition, but Its not full.

 I take note of your suggestions about forcing the kernel, maybe I did
something wrong.

 I will try to reboot the box and see what happens.

 Many thanks

 Miguel
