Hi guys, First off I want to thank the OpenVZ team for continually to keep their software up to date and improving it! I am currently running Centos 6.3 with the following kernel: 2.6.32-042stab057.1 I am trying to update my kernel to 042stab059.7 but it appears that there is some sort of conflict between the old kernel and this one. I get the following error when trying to install the "vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab059.7.x86_64.rpm" RPM: [root@server tmp]# rpm -ivh vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab059.7.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: kernel-firmware >= 2.6.32-279.1.1.el6 is needed by vzkernel-2.6.32-042stab059.7.x86_64 Does anyone know how I might be able to fix this so I can update to that kernel? Thanks!

Thanks! rpm -e kernel-firmware then yum install vzkernel-firmware Should do the trick.
Just running yum update vzkernel usually works for me. sean
