Thanks for the advice Sean...I am going to research the kernel updates some more and evaluate the upgrade. I do have a question about the kernel and being able to retreat. If I install the newkernel.rpm with rpm -ivh it will install, and running in conjunction with the old kernel? So once I reboot by default it will load the newest kernel? Then once I let it run for a couple days and everything seems fine I could safely run rpm -e oldkernel.rpm to remove the old? Then on the other hand, if I install the newkernel.rpm and something isn't working right could reboot into the old kernel and run rpm -e newkernel.rpm? Is there a chance that after the kernel has been updated that the machine will not boot at all, or as long as I have the old kernel I can always boot with that? And finally *if* I go ahead with this am I crazy to do this remotely over SSH? Thanks a million!!
