Havin_it Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Well, it's like this. Last time I did urpmi --auto-select one of the packages updated was kernel-source (from 2.6.3-15mdk to 2.6.3-16mdk). I would have expected the equivalent kernel also to be installed, but that didn't happen. I checked and the running kernel is still identified as 2.3.6-15mdk. What action should I take? Are there risks if I leave it as it is and wait to see what urpmi does in future? [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 The kernel has to be updated separately. urpmi --auto-select will not do it. This is a good thing. If you want to update the kernel, enter urpmi kernel and choose from the list (you will want kernel-2.6.3-16mdk) If you don't want urpmi --auto-select to update your kernel-source automatically, etid /etc/urpmi.skip.list and add kernel-source to that file.
