Lanny Hi there do you have any mention of the new kernel in /etc/grub.conf? you might find that the default kernel is still the original one in which case there would be a line like default=1 in grub.conf changing this to default=0 might bring up the new kernel on reboot i have an old dual processor box that boots from the previous kernel after updates for some reason which i haven't researched hth mike
