default kernel issue

cjashu · 03-21-2014, 10:04 PM

Hello Guys,
as always, I appreciate your help.

I update the kernel in my rhel server. However, the ser still boots from the old kernel. Strange enough, even when I commented out the old kernel, the server still booted from the old kernel.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks always

What bootloader are you using.

Hello Emerson,
thanks for your reply. I am using GRUB

Thanks

Well, since nobody else replied ... I have no clue how RHEL works, I had RH once but I didn't like it. If it has separate partition for /boot then this may be the source of your problem. It needs to be mounted before kernel upgrade and GRUB configuration change.

Can you post your grub.conf?
And the result of ls -l /boot?

How do you know it boots from the old kernel?
