Hey,
I ran a yum update and it installed a new kernel.
...
Installed: kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-71.29.1.el6 kernel-devel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-71.29.1.el6
but it did not modify the grub.conf file.
#boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=... initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img
Is this the new behavior or...?
I'm only on C5.6 still :)
Have you moved grub.conf at all - like to a different boot partition, or changed any symlinks to grub.conf?
I moved my grub.conf to a seperate boot partition some time ago, and the rpm installer does not update grub.conf now. So in a way that's a mixed blessing, because I can use yum update each night, and if there is a kernel update it won't actually run the new kernel untill I change the grub.conf entry manually.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
