Hi all, I haven't tried this, can I force install an older version kernel rpm? I tried to install using rpm -ivh and it wouldn't let me saying a newer version is installed already. I need to install the 2.6.7 kernel so in case the 2.6.8 craps out, I can fall back to it. I know I can do this if I uninstall 2.6.8, but it's a pain. Many thanks,
use:
rpm -ivh --oldpackage kernel-XX.rpm

Is it possible to do this directly using YUM ?
Uh, nope. YUM = "yellowdog updater modified", not "yellowdog unupdater" ;-)
You'll need to download the RPM and "rpm -ivh --oldpackage" it manually. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens vitalstream com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Admitting you have a problem is the first step toward getting - - medicated for it. -- Jim Evarts (http://www.TopFive.com) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
