Kernel version 2.4.20-20.7smp

[ThunderHostingDotCom]

I am running a kernel version 2.4.20-20.7smp & I would like to update it to the new one that just came out. Below are the instructions I successfully used in the past but since I have upgraded to a dual CPU. Could someone tweak the below set of instructions for me so they will work on a dual CPU server setup? Thanks in advance for the help!

Upgrade kernal
1) Data to decide what kernal is: cat /etc/grub.conf & ls -la /boot
2) up2date --nox -f kernel (then reboot the server)
3) SSH in &...
cd /
wget http://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/...-18.7.i386.rpm
rpm -i kernel-2.4.20-18.7.i386.rpm
grub-install /dev/hda
pico /etc/grub.conf
change default=0 (single CPU)
exit pico ctrl-x
then reboot > shutdown -r now (Have someone look at the grub.conf before rebooting)
uname -a to check kernel version

Ok, I am assuming from your post, that you are running redhat 7.* and grub.

Here is what you do:

If you are running redhat 7.3:
wget http://updates.cpanel.net/redhat/updates/7.3/en/os/i686/kernel-smp-2.4.20-24.7.i686.rpm

( you want the SMP kernel for 2+ processors )

rpm -ivh kernel-smp-2.4.20-24.7.i686.rpm

( this will install the kernel, not removing your old one )

pico -w /etc/grub.conf ensure the new kernel details are present. If not, carefully insert them yourself.
Change default to = 0 to load the first kernel in the list on next boot up.

ctrl x and save the changes

Cross your fingers and reboot ( shutdown -rf now ). If the server fails to come back after about 5 minutes max, call the DC and get them to plug into console and try and trouble shoot the errors or just boot to the old kernel.

When the server comes back, I always run /scripts/upcp to ensure all needed rpms are installed.
