I'm trying to upgrade an old QMT to QTP and ran into a little trouble. Here's the end of the output from qtp-newmodel where it fails:

My questions are: Did this actually install a new kernal? If I reboot the machine will I be running the new kernal? What does 'Please install manually' mean (is this referring to the kernal? maybe the new kernal is not really installed and I have to do it manually through yum before rebooting?) What if I do qtp-newmodel again and this time say 'no' when it asks if I want a 'unioned sandbox'? Might that make it install without updating the kernal? I'm just always a little nervous to install new things and reboot - should I get over this?

Sorry for my confusion. Thanks so much for any help!
