ASL(4.0.17-33) Kernel is not getting installed on Centos 6.7

Unread post by MehdiMoz »

Hello,
Today with a Clean centos 6.7 64bit I ran ASL installation but the Kernel weren't installed on the CENTOS physical server(NONE-Virtualization)
I re-runASL installation serveral times but didn't help
I even ran the command instructed on the Wiki wwhich was

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=tortix-kernel upgrade kernel-asl
It didn't help
:idea: :arrow:
I found the way to fix this and thought to write this on the forum to help you guys fixing this if you have also faced this issue just like me that took several hours in three days to figure out how to solve it and I want to help you minimize waiting of your time

The fix are two steps
first go to the /etc/asl/tortix-mirrorlist and edit

Code: Select all

www2.atomicorp.com/channels/tortix/centos/6/$basearch
to

Code: Select all

www2.atomicorp.com/channels/tortix-kernel/centos/6/$basearch

Then run this command

Code: Select all

 yum --enablerepo=tortix-kernel upgrade kernel

This will help fixing the latest kernel installation with the latest ASL installation

Code: Select all

yum --enablerepo=tortix-kernel upgrade kernel

I don't know why the latest version has such bug in naming that prevents ASL from installing it's Kernel

Re: ASL(4.0.17-33) Kernel is not getting installed on Centos

Unread post by scott »

The new 3.14 kernel-asl package is for EL7 at this time. We're still working out some issues with this on EL6.

Notably, the 3.14 kernel requires a newer compiler in order to support the security functions and that could complicate any kind of 3rd party kernel module install that builds from source.
