<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Back on December 25, I did a "up2date -u" from the
Red Hat Network for a kernel update to my 7.2 machine. The up2date process
did not go to total completion, that is it could not run a "sh /sbin/grubby" as
I had run out of "/" directory space and it could not get to
/sbin. I can tell by looking at /boot that not all is completed.
That problem is now fixed. I just tried to re-update the kernel with a
"rpm -Uvh package name" (same package and version) and it complained that the
existing kernel files conflict with the fresh rpm package. I tried to use
the -F option but that did absolutely nothing. Do I need to use the
"-i" option in order to force the rpm to overlay the unsuccessful
prior install? Or, should I use the "-e" to try and back it out
first? The best I can tell, the machine is running on the prior version of
the kernel.</FONT></DIV>
