You didn't say what version of Red Hat you're using, so I'm not sure if you're using LILO or grub. Either way, you'll want to edit the appropriate configuration file (/etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf). The following directions assume that you installed the new kernel via rpm, which also adds the relevant entries to your config file. If it's LILO, change the "default=" line to the label of the kernel you wish to boot. Then run "/sbin/lilo" to save your changes. Make sure you pay attention for any errors, they will tell you if your syntax is incorrect. If it's grub, change the "default=" to the index number of the kernel you wish to boot (starting with 0). For example, if you have two kernels in your file, and you want to boot the 2nd one, change that line to "default=1". That's all you need to do with grub, just reboot to test. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
