I brought this up yesterday, perhaps in the wrong thread. I have the 1826

installed, it never was offered as an option at startup. If I'd tap the
keyboard to get the list, 1872 was not there. After boot-up, I see the
kernel in /boot and it is listed in menu.lst and grub.conf. Samething
again this am - my machine is updated to 1878. I see messages about 1872
being removed. 1878 is now in /boot and is listed in menu.lst and
grub.conf. BUT, on startup, it is not in the list - only 1826 is
offered...
Anyone know what's up?
Take a look at /boot/grub/grub.conf and see if there is a "hiddenmenu"
in it. If so comment it out and see if you get different behavior.
Also, you could look at /etc/yum/[pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf and try
setting "enabled" = 0.
"hiddenmenu" was there - I commented it out and rebooted, but still no 1878
offered - I tried manually editing the boot lines to change to 1878, but that
didn't work, for reasons I didn't investigate, yet - so I still booted into
1826
I've changed the setting in installonlyn.conf to enabled=0 (it was set to 1)
Should I presume that this setting will affect the next time I update, but
should have no effect on present circumstances?
Correct, but installonlyn may be doing something to the grub menu (or
something related) when it does it's thing. So with it disabled you may
see different results after the next update.
Of course, with installonlyn disabled you will need to remove kernels
(and kernel-devel if you use it) manually.
