Hello Gurus,

I have a issues with just patched server RHEL6, patching went successfully after reboot we see that server is booted with old kernel, then i checked the grub.conf file, but its looking good we patched many servers all servers are successfully booted with new kernel except this one..we noticed while server booting we dont see the new kernel entry in the bootup list ( the list which show all old kernels), i compared the grub.conf file with working servers, but there is no difference..

default=0
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 ro

Old kernel : 2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64
New Kernel : 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64


Any Assistance is Appreciated

Well the kernel file might be named 358.6.2 but could really be 279.22.1. One simple way of checking could be
It would also be interesting to see your entire grub.conf and the output of ls -l /boot.

Thank you for assistance, we got the solution,

Actual what happeded was when we did sanity reboot, /boot was not mounted eventhough we have pathed the server..
you may raise a question that without /boot how server got rebooted, somebody copied /boot files to the /boot folder..

we patched again after mounting /boot, Its woring now..


Thank you..
