Kernel update fails with recent RPFR update

[gaudetr]

I have the "base" version of Pidora (the one you get when you install Pidora from NOOBS) installed on my SD card. After updating all of the packages using yum, I enabled the pidora-rpfr-updates repository and tried to update the kernel. When I do this, I get the following:

# yum update -y --enablerepo=pidora-rpfr-updates
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

Is there an intermediate version between 3.6.11 and 3.11.6 that I should be going to before moving to this version?

That looks like a packaging error with the Pidora kernel.

Personally, I don't use the Pidora kernel, because it's so old. If you'd like to try the latest upstream kernel built with the default configuration for the Raspberry Pi, I build them and put them in my Dropbox:

There's a text file with installation instructions there as well.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

to

kernel-3.12.1-1.20131120gitc7768e2.rpfr18
