Then either enter the following command:

rpm -Uvh kernel-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm kernel-smp-2.4.21-50.EL.i686.rpm

Or this one:

rpm -Uvh kernel-*.rpm

3. Reboot the system

4. Stop Dell services

/usr/bin/srvadmin-services.sh stop

- srvadmin-odf-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm

- srvadmin-ipmi-5.1.0-354.DUP.i386.rpm

- srvadmin-isvc-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm

- srvadmin-cm-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm

- srvadmin-rac5-components-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm

Then enter either this command:

rpm -Uvh instsvc-drivers-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-deng-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-odf-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-ipmi-5.1.0-354.DUP.i386.rpm srvadmin-isvc-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-cm-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-omhip-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-storage-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-omilcore-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-omacore-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-jre-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-hapi-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-old-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm srvadmin-rac5-components-5.1.0-354.i386.rpm
