[TriLUG] CentOS 5.4 + Yum Madness

[Ron Kelley]

Looks like yum is definitely picking NOT up the kernel-dev package.  Which repos do you have enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d?  By chance, you don't have an "exclude" statement in any of your repos, do you?

FYI - here is what I get from the "yum list |grep kern" on my CentOS 5.4 server:

[root at server1 yum.repos.d]$  yum list |grep kern
kernel.x86_64                            2.6.18-92.el5          installed       
kernel.x86_64                            2.6.18-92.1.22.el5     installed       
kernel-devel.x86_64                      2.6.18-92.el5          installed       
kernel-devel.x86_64                      2.6.18-92.1.22.el5     installed       
kernel-headers.x86_64                    2.6.18-92.1.22.el5     installed

kernel-doc.noarch                        2.6.18-164.11.1.el5    update          
kernel-headers.x86_64                    2.6.18-164.11.1.el5    update          
kernel-xen.x86_64                        2.6.18-164.11.1.el5    update          
kernel-xen-devel.x86_64                  2.6.18-164.11.1.el5    update          
yum-kernel-module.noarch                 1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1 update
