It sounds like the last kernel upgrade didn't finish the %post% scripts. The easiest thing to try would be to rpm -e the new kernel and try a yum upgrade again. Another thing to check... Is there a symlink from /boot/grub/menu.lst to /boot/grub/grub.conf? I have had that on my systems since time began and maybe it is a requirement for things to work right. Just a guess.On 5/6/08, Ralph Angenendt <ra+centos AT br-online.de> wrote:Lanny Marcus wrote:If there is some place I can check in a yum database or RPM database on her box, to verify the kernel version that's really installed (probably the original one), please let me know where that is.

That confirms what I have been seeing the past few days, that no updates are available! The kernel-headers for the latest kernel is there, along with the latest kernel. However, it is not shown in the GRUB menu when I boot the box, and, the box boots the old kernel. My knowledge of Linux, obviously, is very limited. How can I correct this, so the box will boot the latest kernel? TIA! Lanny
