when I ran up2date today it appeared to install kernel 2.6.4-1.298. There were no errors reported. But it did not update grub as usual, it did not put any files in /boot, and when I do rpm -q kernel it does not show 2.6.4-1.298 (It shows the other kernels 253 etc) [root@old1 boot]# rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.3-2.1.242 kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253 kernel-2.6.3-2.1.246 kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
I had similar problems. Clean install of test2 with selinux in enforcing mode followed by a yum update. Many of the postinstall scripts reported failures and after a reboot (to boot the new kernel that didn't get installed) lots of things were very broken. Permissions on directories in /var were all messed up (as root I couldn't cd to /var/log to try to figure out what was going). So I did a clean install of test2 again, setting selinux to warn only, and things are much happier. It seems like the default policy of selinux kept many files from being updated properly.
Let me know if you file a bug report so I can add to it.
