Hi, Stefano.
Don't pay too much attention to the SL version number in the grub2 boot
menu. These labels are set when the kernel is installed or updated, and
don't necessarily reflect the SL version you're currently running. If
you updated the kernel to the latest version (3.10.0-957.1.3.el7) before
upgrading from 7.5 to 7.6, there would not have been any further kernel
upgrade during the 7.6 upgrade, so no update to the grub2 menu. All
you're choosing from the boot menu is a particular version of the
kernel, and kernel versions are more or less independent of the SL
release number (or at least the minor version number). Any "3.10.*.el7"
kernel version should work with any SL 7.* release.
The more important indicator is the value in the file
/etc/yum/vars/slreleasever. If it's 7.6 or 7x, then yum will grab the
latest SL 7.6 updates and you should be fine. If it's gone back to 7.5
for any reason, then you may have a problem requiring another attempt at
upgrading to 7.6. But even so, it's highly unlikely that all the RPM
package that got installed during the 7.6 upgrade got downgraded to the
7.5 versions, as yum doesn't usually downgrade unless explicitly told to.

Dear John,
thank you very much for your help. I tried the "magic spelling" the
post suggested, but nothing happened. This is such a weird issue, the
first day SL 7.6 was completely different and when I shut down I
somehow downgraded back to 7.5 even if now it still says I am running
SL 7.6 but in boot phase I can choose only SL 7.5.
Regarding the overnight freezes, I have been fighting against it
forever. It happens in every situation, simply every time I clik
"restart" or I close the pc without locking it, it freezes forever.
This started when I upgraded from SL 7.4 to 7.5. Before that, it was
perfect. Apparently, the issue was solved upgrading to SL 7.6 but now
this second issue kicked in.
Do you have any other suggestion?
Many thanks,
Stefano
