Nitai, why did you need to use --force ? You can see from the grub.conf you supplied below that 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp is 0 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL is 1 etc so yes, just change default to wherever your new kernel is in the list. Im worried about why you needed to force the kernel to install tho ... be prepared for possible issues when you reboot then new kernel ;) Good luck, Nick . > -----Original Message----- > From: Nitai @ ComputerOil [mailto:nitai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 01 March 2006 10:25 > To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list > Subject: RE: Kernel downgrade > > > I could have thought about that, sorry but we are mainly > doing Windows and other Unix servers.
