Hey, you may be right .. I went to boot\ and there are several config files that show up there.. Now, only the 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL config shows up in the screen when you boot and hit the arrow key, but the 2.6.9-11 shows in the boot directory.. I havent looked in grub yet. Ok. IN GRUB, only the 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL is listed -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org]On Behalf Of David Campbell Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2005 6:08 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: RE: [CentOS] RE: trying to upgrade from Centos 4.0tocurrent--repairRPM database Only the 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL kernel is listed there..

When booting, at the grub screen (first light blue screen), press a key (like the arrow key) ... you should see all the installed kernels, likely the new kernel is installed. You may need to edit the file: /boot/grub/grub.conf to make it the default On Sat, 2005-08-20 at 17:48 -0400, David Campbell wrote: > ummm I may have spoken too soon.. lol.
