Subject: unwanted kernel
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 17:28:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <001001c7d2f0$828b9c00$6405a8c0@ALBERTLC7SN0ZA> (raw)
As instructed in the Fedora 7 installation guide, I inserted the line
exclude kernel=* kernel-doc kernel-source kernel-smp*debuginfo*
in my yum.conf file. (It's not on one line in this message on my screen, but it is in the file. Anyway, when I do
yum update
it promises to install
kernel i686 2.6.22-133.fc7 updates 16 M
again, all on one line.
I'm appending the text of my yum.conf in case I did something wrong here, but the line looks to me just like in the installation guide.
I actually seem to have installed this other kernel doing
yum update -y
on Friday: there were new lines in my grub.conf. Luckily, I rebooted without a problem, and eventually removed the thing. Still, I thought the exclude line was meant to prevent just this problem. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Al
