Upgrade yes.
To be clear upgrade = replace.
Is this a supported way of working?
Doing rpm -Uvh on the kernel package is something that, in one way
or another, can cause many troubles and it is always risky in case
something fails.
Why not just keep (at least) one extra kernel installed?
The yum "installonlyn" plugin can keep track of that automatically
(although I didn't try that yet).
Hm, thats actually true. Don't we typically keep the last 3 installed
kernels on the system during an upgrade? It could still be possible to
run into problems (if the customer was running the oldest kernel of the
3 and then runs the update), but very unlikely.
I'd rather propose to move this to a Fastrack RHEL-5.2 issue as the fix
isn't there yet and it's really late for RHEL-5.1 and the impact of the
issue should be really low.
Read ya, Phil
