I believe you need to update /etc/sysconfig/kernel to set the 'default' kernel package to be the kernel-ml or whichever elrepo kernel you're using. Hello Jim, thanks for the reply. For some reason that doesnt' work. To test this I booted from an older kernel and removed the most recent Centos-kernel After installing Elrepo's kernel-ml the system boots from kernel-ml, with or without changing /etc/sysconfig/kernel to DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-ml But after running an update again, and reinstalling the latest Centos kernel, the system boots from that kernel again.
