This seems to me a misunderstanding. Upgrading to F7 does not have much to do with the kernel; well, it will introduce a new kernel and will delete all your old kernels unless you ask it not to (by setting enabled=0 in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf). The main change you need to make before upgrading is to make sure all the partitions in /etc/fstab (and root= in /etc/grub.conf) are replaced by labels, eg LABEL=/ for /dev/hda3 . But read the Installation Notes ... -- Timothy Murphy
Thanks for the clarification. In either case, I still won't have FC6 to boot to after the upgrade, if I understand correctly. Given that, I think I'll play it safe and not try to fix what ain't broke. I'll upgrade in a few weeks when things have settled down and Fedora has had a chance to fix any immediate issues with F7. cheers.... ....sultan
