[BlueOnyx:12167] Re: Current Kernel?

[Jeff Folk]

Maybe this is my problem. Looking in /boot/grub as opposed to /etc, the file only references the old kernel:

[root at box1 ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# 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/mapper/VolGroup00-root
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
