The method of upgrading the kernel on RH 5.1 described on www.redhat.com
(errata) is not working properly.

I installed RH 5.1 from scratch. Moved the new kernel rpm's to /tmp and
issued: rpm -Uvh *.rpm.

This results in error message:
cannot remove /lib/modules/2.0.34-0.6 - directory not empty
cannot remore /lib/modules/2.0.34-0.6/misc - directory not empty

Rebooting the PC results in error messages that some modules cannot be
located: "Can't locate module net-pf-4" etc.

In /lib/modules the directories 2.0.34-1 and 2.0.34-0.6 are present plus a
link from preferred to 2.0.34-0.6.

Issueing a "rm preferred" and a "ln -s 2.0.34-1 preferred", followed by a
"depmod -a" gives message: Can't open /lib/modules/2.0.34/modules.dep.

Using "ln -s 2.0.34-1 2.0.34" gives a lot of unresolved objects.

I rather would not like to compile the kernel again, but just issue some
rpm commands to update the kernel. How can I accomplish this?

Regards, Ruud.
