Hello, Thanks for your reply. I run periodic yum updates, i do them manually, and i just checked my /etc/redhat-release file, it says i'm still running centos 5-final. Aside from the yum update and of course the kernel reboot, is there anything else that needs doing? I'm running kernel 2.6.xx-15. Thanks. Dave.

I've googled for this but haven't found an answer. I've got a 5.0 boxthat i'd like to take to 5.1. I believe this is possible as i did an upgrade from 4.x to 5.0 but can't remember what i did. Ideally i'd like to avoid any downtime.
'yum update' will take you between minor versions (5.0 -> 5.1 -> 5.2) without any issues. The only downtime required is to reboot to the new kernel which contains several fixes. This part you can usually do whenever you can schedule it.
