We have a problem with upgrade to 4.4
When we run 'yum update' everything appears to be OK
But, if we reboot the server with the new kernel,

The CentOS splash screen shows briefly, but not long enough to select
the old kernel
Hmmm ...
You should get a screen that has a kernel name and is blue, at that
screen, you should be able to press any key and then select a kernel
before the kernel actually starts booting.
Does that work?
The other issue sounds like maybe you have a custom built kernel driver
that you need to build for your new kernel before you boot (maybe a
SCSI/RAID driver)?
Since I'm still happily running CentOS 4.3, I should probably keep my
thoughts
to myself, but that immediate kernel panic sure is a reminder of
attempting to boot
an i686 kernel with an i586 processor. I'd try to duplicate the
reported symptom
but my AMD K6-2 box has become an "organ transplant" donor strictly because
of kernel requirements.
