Subject:   Kernel install problem - 4.3-stable
Message-ID:  <200105100131.VAA58537@alfred.oau.org>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am having an odd problem with a 4.3-STABLE box. I can not install a
kernel update. More properly, I can not issue a "chflags noschg /kernel"
while in multi-user mode. If I go to single user mode, it works
properly. The error is "Operation not permitted". I have several other
4.3 boxes that do not exhibit this symptom. This box is going to be
administered remotely, so I can not properly support it if I have to go
to single user mode to update the kernel.

Hardware is an old Gateway PPro motherboard. On-board IDE is disabled,
Promise ATA-66 PCI card installed. Adaptec 1540 running the CD-ROM.
Intel In-Business NIC. dmesg boot output follows:
