Re: rebooting after kernel update

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I am running 7.2 but I think this version uses GRUB. The new kernel 
shows up when I list the kernels but for some reason it is now hanging 
if I don't have the keyboard/mouse hooked up. It didn't do that before. 
It does run fine after I remove the keyboard and mouse.
Any ideas?

which version of RH are you running?

RH8/9 use GRUB as a bootloader and installing  a new kernel rpm should 
add
lines to its config file in /boot/grub/grub.conf

Prior to this the boot manager was LILO, which does not read a config 
file on
boot, but converts the information into a binary form which is loaded 
at boot
time.

if your boot manager is LILO you need to run
/sbin/lilo -v
after updating your kernel in order to accomplish this - you can then 
reboot
and it should list an extra/new kernel in the list.
the config file it reads is
/etc/lilo.conf
a sample entry would be:

image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
        label ="redhat 8.0"
        root=/dev/hdb2
        read-only
this will of course vary for you, depending on the kernel version and 
root
partition.
