Kernel Upgrade with Grub.

[vishal]

Hello All,

I recently upgraded kernel on my server with
up2date --nox -f kernel
The kernel seems to be upgraded and also an entry has been added in /etc/grub.conf, after the reboot when i checked
uname -r it still shows the older version of the kernel and even WHM show me the warning "Insecure Kernel"

Help Me!!


Thank You,

Upgrading the kernel

Thanks Angel78, whoever you are...
Your information ended a long search about this part of the kernel upgrade... after editing the grub.conf file as you suggested, BINGO... it worked...
