[WBEL-users] up2date error

[Johnny Hughes]

This is a common problem if you have the original kernel installed as
well as the updated kernel ... and it is a RHEL problem.  If you do an:

rpm -q kernel
rpm -q kernel-source

and then do an:

rpm -e 

to remove the old kernels, it should clear up the problem.
