Hello,
i have problems to update a server system "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 (Santiago)" with Kernel: 2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64
The system was last rebooted at "Wed Mar 14 11:01:33 2012". After that date, the system was updated online with "yum cron" and
YUM_PARAMETER: "--security".

I tried to update the system with "yum update" for an complete update with reboot -- and got the following messages:

yum clean all

Loaded plugins: downloadonly, product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-
: manager

yum update

I mentioned that the system is now to old for an regular update and need a special procedure.

Please tell me how to update the system.

Thanks in advance
