I believe you need to update /etc/sysconfig/kernel to set the 'default'
kernel package to be the kernel-ml or whichever elrepo kernel you're using.
Hello Jim,
thanks for the reply.
For some reason that doesnt' work.
To test this I booted from an older kernel and removed the most recent Centos-kernel
After installing Elrepo's kernel-ml the system boots from kernel-ml, with or without changing /etc/sysconfig/kernel to
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-ml
But after running an update again, and reinstalling the latest Centos kernel, the system boots from that kernel again.
Greetings, J.
