I've been going along not noticing things happening right under my nose.
so imagine my surprise when I discovered last night that my Centos 5 box
has installed multiple new kernels over the last few months, as updates
come out, and IT IS NOT BOOTING THE NEWST ONE.
grub.conf says to boot kernel 0, and 0 is the newest one. but the one it
actually boots is 6 or 8 down the list (clearly I've not been keeping
things cleaned up, either).
Below is some info that shows the problem. Can anyone here provide
helpful suggestions on (1) why it is doing this, and more importantly (2)
how I can make it stop?
Thanks!
