I did yum update on one of my nodes and it's now at 5.4. I rebooted, too. Looks good so far.

Why don't you clone your Linode to a new one, update the clone, and see how it works?

dub tee eff. Webmin really messed up my yum repositories on one of my nodes. My other CentOS linode upgraded to 5.4 easily.

edit: nevermind. upgrading using yum screwed everything up. fantastic

edit 2: somehow the network configurations got screwed up. all is well now :D

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 was replaced with the wrong config during the upgrade. That seems to be the only problem I had.

Not sure what to tell you to be honest.

I did:
yum upgrade -- it installed some stuff (I forget)

and then (again):
yum upgrade -- it upgraded/installed a bunch of stuff including CentOS 5.4

Rebooting caused me to have my network config problems that I fixed... Working well so far. Just throwing my experience out there

I just upgraded my three nodes no problem. Just did 'yum update' and rebooted. Everything looks good!

Why reboot? After updating to 5.4 we're still using the same Linode-provided kernel. Of course a reboot is a good idea to test that everything comes up OK, but strictly speaking it isn't necessary, is it? Someone correct me if I'm wrong :)

You're probably right. I mean the only reason you should ever need to reboot Linux is when Linode updates your kernel, right? Otherwise you should be able to just restart (after recompiling if applicable) your services using the libraries you updated.

Being new to Linode - how do we get notified if a kernel is upgraded for us?
