I am trying to upgrade a 5.0 system from kernel-2.0.32-2 to
kernel-2.0.32-3. I first tried to upgrade just the kernel,
as suggested by recent instructions:
rpm -Uvh kernel-2.0.32-3.i386.rpm
leaving kernel-modules-2.0.32-2, but this particular system
becomes seriously unstable if I do that: apparently I have to
upgrade also kernel-modules. Now, how to do that with rpm's?
If I try to follow
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/intel/kernel-upgrade-intel.html
I run into problems in the "Installing the New Packages" stage:
/boot/System.map-2.0.32 conflicts with file from kernel-2.0.32-2
/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 conflicts with file from kernel-2.0.32-2
error: kernel-2.0.32-3.i386.rpm cannot be installed
Clearly, these instructions are for the case where the version
number (2.0.32) changes, not just the release number.
My case should be easier, right?
Ok, then I just did, hoping for the best:
rpm -Uvh kernel-modules-2.0.32-3.i386.rpm
but my hopes were not fulfilled:
You cannot remove the kernel-modules package for the currently
running kernel.
execution of script failed
and now I have a kind of a mess:
# rpm -q kernel kernel-modules
kernel-2.0.32-3
kernel-modules-2.0.32-2
kernel-modules-2.0.32-3
and I seem to be stuck:
# rpm -e kernel-modules-2.0.32-3
You cannot remove the kernel-modules package for the currently
running kernel.
execution of script failed
How can I exit out of these muddy waters?
Thanks!
