Hi All,
Updates to 6.2 a few days ago.
Interesting, when I boot up, the splash screen says I am
running "Scientific Linux 6.1".
I can confirm this on my system. :-(
It will probably still say this until a kernel update is done. The
splash stuff is loaded from the boot portions of the kernel and is not
updated automatically.
Don't stress about it - it'll fix itself on the next kernel update.
Hi Steven,
That is good news. I was hoping it was not yet another thing that went
wrong with the upgrade. (I just fixed my stinkin' sound and have
still to fix my video driver.)
I am surprised that the kernel did not change as well.
Thanks you for the help,

Boot into a previous kernel and then do
yum reinstall kernel
This will rebuild initramfs and fix it.

Thank you. I will just wait for the next kernel update.
I mainly wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. This
upgrade (6.1 --> 6.2) was the upgrade from hell on the machine.
Funny thing, on my other machine, when I did my "yum upgrade"
it told me there was nothing to upgrade. Checking "/etc/redhat-release"
told me I was already upgraded. I had accidentally upgraded last
week during my weekly routine upgrades. It went so well I
didn't even realize it. One was a dream upgrade; the other
was the upgrade from hell. Weird. I can't win.
Many thanks,
-T
