Let me get this straight, i should rpm -Uvh kernel-2.4.9-34.i686.rpm then rpm -e kernel-2.4.9-34? That is not working.[/quote:51bde5c4c0]
no you have to run just:

rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs kernel-2.4.9-34.i686.rpm[/quote:51bde5c4c0]

root@srv08 [/tmp]# rpm -Uvh --force kernel-2.4.9-34.i686.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:kernel ########################################### [100%]
/boot/initrd-2.4.9-34.img already exists.

I did that then i tried to remove it without success. Im getting the same error when trying to remove it

root@srv08 [/tmp]# rpm -e kernel-2.4.9-34
error: &kernel-2.4.9-34& specifies multiple packages

And now i have 3 instances of it but my uname -a still reports the new kernel which i cannot see if i type rpm -q kernel.

I know what your trying to tell me and thats to install then remove install then remove but it wont.

please do not use --force use this:

rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles kernel-2.4.9-34.i686.rpm

 

[itf]

after above use this:

rpm -e --allmatches kernel-2.4.9-34

it generally returns error but
after that use

rpm -qa kernel
to see if there is any duplication or not
if there is any duplicates:
run this

rpm --rebuilddb

rpm -e --allmatches kernel-2.4.9-34
after that install new kernel as I discussed in another thread

Should i just remove these rpms then install them again after i remove this kernel?

no just use this

rpm -e --nodeps --allmatches kernel-2.4.9-34

however it is recommended to install new kernel before using above command

rpm -q kernel reports nothing but uname says

Should i still install new kernel? I will do that and take her to 2.4.18-18.7.x

Never forget kernel installation is not just using rpm please read these threads carefully, I wrote there in details about kernel upgrade

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well rpm -q says NO KERNEL but i think i should reapply the 2.4.17 kernel to make sure its i have something to fall back on if 2.4.18 fails.

 

[ozzi4648]

Wait, hold on, you were telling me to reinstall kernel-2.4.9-34.i686.rpm but wasnt it supposed to be kernel-2.4.9-34.i386.rpm? Also in your docs there is no instructions on how to apply the kernel and where to get it from.

[b:661913cb18]ITF[/b:661913cb18]& using i386, i686 and athlon and ... depends on your CPU type, but you are curious on how I wrote to install i686 it's very easy because you sent the result of uname -a command

as you can see your cpu type is i686

[b:661913cb18]ozzi4648[/b:661913cb18]& where to get it from?

[b:661913cb18]ITF[/b:661913cb18]& if you read my posts about kernel in another threads or search kernel keyword by using ITF username you'll find I wrote where to download kernel too

Redhat users can download latest version of kernel from:

ftp://updates.redhat.com/&linux version&/en/os/&cpu type&/kernel-&version&.&cpu&.rpm

i.e ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i686/kernel-&version&.i686.rpm

Remeber when i deleted the duplicate kernels it said something about deleting the template now when i go to install the new kernel i get this:

please don't use kernel*.rpm
exactly specify its version, also checkout using rpm -qa kernel

however in one of my posts before deleting all of the kernels i wrote it is recommended to install the new kernel before removing all of them

please install kernel 2.4.9-34.i686.rpm at first (it seems that you have redhat 7.2)
Do you use GRUB as boot loader? if yes checkout /etc/grub.conf it should be similiar to what I wrote in kernel upgrade thread

ITF?

I used uname -a to find out what kernel ver I have & below is what I got. Now I have 3 questions.
1) What is up with the unknown?
2) I went to ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i686/ and I see that they have a kernel-2.4.18-18.7.x.i686.rpm with a date of 11/15. Does that mean my kernel I have (below) is 3 months and 8 editions old?
3) What differences will I see if I upgrade to the above kernel?

2.4.18-10smp #1 SMP Wed Aug 7 11:17:48 EDT 2002 i686 unknown

That &unknown& is the host processor type and means generic due to handling bunch of processor types by kernel

If you would like to see your processor type use this command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

about your kernel, you have smp kernel and have to use:
kernel-smp-2.4.18-18.7.x.i686.rpm
