Subject: [CentOS] CentOS 6 kernel update and grub.conf...
Hey,
I ran a yum update and it installed a new kernel.
...
Installed:
kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-71.29.1.el6 kernel-devel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-71.29.1.el6
but it did not modify the grub.conf file.
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64 ro root=UUID=...
initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64.img
Is this the new behavior or...?
I'm only on C5.6 still :)
Have you moved grub.conf at all - like to a different boot
partition, or changed any symlinks to grub.conf?
I moved my grub.conf to a seperate boot partition some time
ago, and the rpm installer does not update grub.conf now. So
in a way that's a mixed blessing, because I can use yum
update each night, and if there is a kernel update it won't
actually run the new kernel untill I change the grub.conf
entry manually.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
