[Fedora-music-list] installing older kernels
Hiya... some of my (Planet CCRMA) users are still having problems when
trying to install older kernels with yum. Does anyone know how to tell
yum to pretty please install a kernel even if it is version-older than
the newest already installed?
I have a set of packages (planetccrma-core-*) that "Requires:" the
proper kernel, alsa, rtirq script, etc, etc. Yum refuses to install an
older kernel.
I thought that doing this in /etc/yum.conf would fix it:
----
# pkgpolicy=newest
----
But it does not...

Last suggestion was to clean up the internal yum state - but I never

feedback on whether it worked or not. See "man yum" and go

first (this will
reload all the metadata from the servers which could take a while on
slow links). Please let us know if any of this helps...
I tried a yum clean all, and even that didn't seem to work. It seem
whatever setting causes the kernels to be treated differently than other
packages isn't either being checked, or isn't present on the files.
Let me know if you require more information.
Thanks!
