Hi,

I just installed redhat linux 5.6.
Though our satellite server has the latest kernel version
(2.6.18-238.19.1.el5) in the 5.6 channel; for some reason an older kernel
gets installed.

# uname -r
2.6.18-238.el5


yum -y update in the post install script does not work for some reason.

So I manually run "yum -y update" after the initial setup to install the
latest kernel version for 5.6 and update all other packages.  This is
throwing an error.



Transaction Check Error:
