Hi,
I have updated the kernel to 2.4.21-27.0.2 on Centos 3.4 (was 3.3 when
I did the kernel update) and have modified grub.conf to use the single
CPU kernel:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p6
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.2.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.img
title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp.img
title CentOS (2.4.21-27.0.1.EL)
.......
I then created a new symbolic link for Sytem.map in /boot to point to
System.map-2.4.21-27.0.2.EL.
When I reboot the 2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp is used and System.map has been
changed to point to the smp kernel.
Is there a step I'm missing out?
BTW, the upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 using yum seems to have worked - I'm
running Oracle on the server.
Thanks,
Wayne
