So I can hold it there till I figure out the incantation to get it to update to 2.6.18-53 and not go all the way to 2.6.18-92. The other problem of getting all 5 or 5.1 updates, but no 5.2 unsupported (by IBM) enhancements is still a much bigger mystery. > > On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 9:48 AM, drew einhorn <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > We have a couple of boxes on IBM hardware. > > We need to run a package for managing the RAID, > > that only works with a couple of kernels: > > > > 2.6.18_8 > > 2.6.18_53 > > > > When we asked about updates, they said the only support RHEL5, not 5.1,. > 5.2 > > > > Although the 2.6.19_53 appears to be for 5.1 > > > > Anyway 2 questions: > > > > Second, how do I configure yum so I get all the necessary: > > > > bug fixes, and > > security updates, > > > > but not the unsupported enhancements. > > > > First, how do I get the specific supported kernels, the only way I know > how > > to setup the > > yum repositories a yum updates gets me a much more recent kernel. > > > > -- > > Drew Einhorn > > > > _______________________________________________ > > rhelv5-list mailing list > > [email protected] > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > rhelv5-list mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list > -- Drew Einhorn
