yum error cant find repos elrepo-kernel
have looked in /etc/yum.repos.d and no elrepo-kernel file there.

A kernel update and yum not finding a repo have nothing to do with one another. Post the yum errors here. Any errors if you disable elrepo?

I just setup elrepo in my Scientific install. Apparently elrepo is disabled by default.

My error readout , ive had to remove the http links as the forum will not let me post them ,

There is no elrepo-kernel.repo file. In the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file, you need to set the enabled=1 in the elrepo-kernel block. Here is the elrepo.repo file in case you need it. Remove the .txt extension if you don't have this already.

[SteveJKing]

I do have this file and enabled=1 in all three blocks inc kernel , already , still same error.

cheers , Steve.

[Rubberman]

Well, I'm running SL6 as well, but don't have this problem. What about disabling the elrepo-kernel block? Mine is not enabled.

[SteveJKing]

Cheers , changed to enabled=0 and yum runs , imediately gave me the new repos for sl6 from rtpm.

nice one
steve.
