That confirms what I have been seeing the past few days, that no updates are available! The kernel-headers for the latest kernel is there, along with the latest kernel. However, it is not shown in the GRUB menu when I boot the box, and, the box boots the old kernel. My knowledge of Linux, obviously, is very limited. How can I correct this, so the box will boot the latest kernel? TIA! Lanny It sounds like the last kernel upgrade didn't finish the %post% scripts. The easiest thing to try would be to rpm -e the new kernel and try a yum upgrade again. Another thing to check... Is there a symlink from /boot/grub/menu.lst to /boot/grub/grub.conf? I have had that on my systems since time began and maybe it is a requirement for things to work right. Just a guess. -- MailScanner is like deodorant...
