RE: Up2date RH9 to AS

[Kevin Jackson <kevin jackson tradermedia co uk>]

Are you using the right key?
If it is showing as RH9 then the key you are using is for RH9 only.

Do a rhnreg_ks --username=user --password=password

And go from there.

Did try that, but the channel options are
a. RH 9 
b. disable

So no good.

Thanks for your response though.  Peter

Go to the system details of the box.  On the right column there is a
"Subscribed Channels" section, which should state the channel your box is
subscribed to, and also a link to "Alter Channel Subscriptions".

And if that won't let u.. Then I dunno *shrug*

I have recently updated a RH 9 box to RH EL 3 Update 2.

Actually, it is a fresh installation, on a separate partition from RH 9. The
machine name and address however remain the same.

I then tried to use "up2date --register" to put my machine profile to RHN so
that I can obtain updates from it.

I then realised that during the registration process, my machine profile is
described to be Red Hat 9, and not Red Hat 3AS.

The profile is registered on RHN, but a subsequent up2date will return the
system is fully up to date, and no updates are done.

I tried to check on the RHN, remove the entry, and register again, but no
joy.  There doesn't seem to be a way I can alter the machine profile to
reflect its base operating system.

Does anyone knows how to do that?

Thanks.
