Re the latest security bug fix on CentOS 5.0, has anyone yum update to upgrade their kernel yet? Any problems?

3

OK, I have yum updated my server (CentOS 5) with the latest kernel update. All OK.

kernel.i686 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 updates
kernel-devel.i686 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 updates
kernel-headers.i386 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5 updates

Use this sequence:

yum update yum

yum clean all

yum update centos-release

yum update kernel*

yum update
