Thanks ,

I will try to use kernel that comes in centos website, I think that 
would be safer.

my server is in remote location, and I don't see any grub screen, so I 
was wondering
if there is an option that I can specify the kernel that Linux to be 
booted at the reboot time,
some thing like shutdown -g0 -i6 which_kernel-options

am I able to see console screen with KVM ? I wish we had it, so I could 
see whats happening
on console, or is there any way to redirect the console to remote 
terminal ?
