RE: Redhat 9 boots the old kernel.

A good practice is to manually select it the first time you boot it,
make sure all of your hardware works, then change your default to boot
it.

The update did take.  The new kernel is installed, the grub.conf
is specifying the old one as the default.  You need to either
manually specify the new kernel at boot time or change your
grub.conf so that "default=0".
