I did the same update you did but didn't have any problems with it. Nevertheless, what gets loaded by default is controlled by the grub.conf file. First, when you boot the system, you can press the 'Esc' key to check the order in which your kernels appear. It should be something like: Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686) Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686) In the case you see that in a different order all you have to do is edit the grub.conf file. The kernel list in mine looks like this: title Fedora (2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_d0d-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=es rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686.img title Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_d0d-lv_root noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=es rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.img As you see, 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 is listed first, thus, it gets loaded first. Check that in your grub.conf file.
