The XFree86-4.1.0 package depends on a recent kernel. Up2date is
configured by default not to upgrade kernel packages, not least because
you need version 2.5.4 of up2date for kernel upgrades to be supported (eg.
see
http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/
). A link on this page tells you how to upgrading the kernel package by
hand, or you could use up2date. The graphical version is probably simpler
to use if it is an option, but the key points are
1. upgrade up2date and probably rpm and rhn_register first, and certainly
before you touch the kernel eg.
up2date up2date rpm rhn_register
2. To upgrade the kernel in text version of up2date, you will need to use
the --force option (use rpm -qa | grep kernel to see whether you have the
kernel, or kernel-smp packages, or both), eg.
up2date --force kernel
or
up2date --force kernel-smp
An alternative is to use up2date --configure (or up2date --nox
--configure for the text version) to add XFree* packages to the skip
list then up2date -u should work without upgrading the kernel or XFree
packages, maybe after excluding other packages.
