Update to 3.0.0.5 is pending > not running latest kernel

[Mr. Happy]

When I try to update EFA I get the following error

Code: Select all

Update to 3.0.0.5 is pending.
Your system has an updated kernel, but you are not running
on the latest kernel.  Please restart your system and run
EFA-Update after restart.

Unfortunately, rebooting and rerunning the update doesn't solve it. I keep getting these errors.

That is weird, after an reboot the update should install again.


If you run

Code: Select all

EFA-Update -check

does it shows you there is an update available ?

Also can you send me the output from the following 2 commands?

Code: Select all

grep -m 1 CentOS /boot/grub/menu.lst | sed 's/.*(//' | sed 's/)//'

and:

uname -a

[Mr. Happy]

EFA-Update -check gives me

Code: Select all

[EFA] Getting latest version number from http://dl.efa-project.org
[EFA] You are running EFA version EFA-3.0.0.4
[EFA] Latest version update is EFA-3.0.0.5

the grep returns:

Code: Select all

2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64.debug

uname -a

Code: Select all

[darky83]

it seems you have enabled debug kernels?

Code: Select all

yum list installed | grep -i kernel

I guess you have enabled kernel-debug-devel

[Mr. Happy]

Apparently I have..

Code: Select all

yum list installed | grep -i kernel

How can I disable/remove them??

[darky83]

Code: Select all

yum remove kernel-debug.x86_64

But the question is more, why are they installed

They should not have been installed by any normal E.F.A. update so i'm confused

[Mr. Happy]

Thanks.. That solved it...
But for the life of me, I don't recall installing it (or for what reason)...
