| Mar 23, 2014 at 23:18 | comment | added | Chap | Thanks for all your help. I'm not able to make this work, so I'm going to open a new question that's aimed directly at what I'm trying to do - namely, to successfully install the VBOX additions onto this VM disk I've been given. | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 10:14 | comment | added | slm♦ | @Chap - yes the hadoop packages. Those are kernel upgrades, look at whatever is the most recent version and either manually select it during GRUB boot or make the default number setting that one. Even without the upgrade to this newer kernel, your system should be set to 6.5, so something would seem to be failing during the update, IMO. | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 5:07 | comment | added | Chap | By "those packages" are you referring to what I called "Hadoop-related stuff"? One final question: after running the update (not upgrade) described in "Upgrade to CentOS 6.5 from CentOS 6.4/6.3/6.2/6.1/6.0", I see that /boot/grub/ contains lots of pairs of things (e.g. vmlinuz) with "279" and "431" in their filename. /boot/grub/grub.conf only mentions 279. Do 279 and 431 bear any relationship to 6.3 and 6.5? | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 4:48 | comment | added | slm♦ | @Chap - that's very likely that those packages won't be available in 6.5 | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 4:29 | comment | added | Chap | grub.conf does exist. I'm back to a fresh version of 6.3. Running yum upgrade caused my CentOS to fail to reboot (froze just before showing the desktop). The CentOS is on a disk image provided in a Cloudera course I took, and it's preconfigured with lots of Hadoop-related stuff, which may well be incompatible with 6.5. | |

@Chap - The only real difference is that upgrade includes the switch --obsoletes, which update does not.

@Chap - strange I have that file on 6.5. Check for /boot/grub/grub.conf.

| Mar 23, 2014 at 3:06 | comment | added | Chap | Unfortunately, that tutorial uses the terms 'update' and 'upgrade' interchangeably, at least in prose. Not a great choice for two terms with different technical meanings. +1 for highlighting the distinction. | |
| Mar 23, 2014 at 2:56 | comment | added | Chap | There isn't a file called menu.lst in /boot/grub/. | |
