I just rebooted my desktop system to pick up the 5.1 kernel, etc. One oddity I noticed is that the contents of /etc/redhat-release still says: [root at bend etc]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) but: [root at bend etc]# rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/redhat-release centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 On my CentOS 4 box, /etc/redhat-release says: [dave at fraud ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.5 (Final) Shouldn't /etc/redhat-release on the CentOS 5 box say "5.1?"
