[Users] yum update error kernel-firmware

[Rene C.]

Thanks for your reply. So if I understand right neither
vzkernel-firmware or kernel-firmware needs to be installed?

http://openvz.org/Vzkernel-firmware seems to suggests kernel-firmware
is required: ("Package vzkernel-firmware is provided for distributions
other than RHEL/CentOS 6, which lacks the package. On a CentOS 6, this
package is not needed and it conflicts with the kernel-firmware
package.").
