Thanks Brian. I can wait. I did run yum update again, but it just said all packages were up to date (as does up2date!).
Sage advice under any circumstances...
OK. Two questions:
1) You say that yum/rpm/kernel packare is stating that there's no boot
loader configured, but yet you get the grub splash screen and kernel
choices... What does 'rpm -q grub' output?
grub-0.93-7
AND
2) What happens if you run 'rpm -e kernel-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl' and then
run 'yum update'?
1. Well, I ran "yum remove kernel-2.4.22-1.2179.nptl"
and got "No Matches for (the above).
2. Then I ran 'rpm -e .....' as above and it returned the console prompt.
3. Then I ran yum update - (I'm just used to using yum). It didn't download anything, but said it was installing the kernel. Then the aforementioned "no bootloader found" message, then a line that the kernel was installed.
4. Rebooted - Got the Grub 0.93 screen with the 2 old kernel choices.
5. Updated, this time with rpm graphical, and it downloaded the kernel - Downloaded and installed without errors, and suggested I reboot to use the new kernel.
6. The reboot yielded the graphical screen showing Grub 0.93 and STILL THE 2 OLD KERNEL CHOICES!
7. Still no /boot/grub file, fwiw.
Any help appreciated. - John
This seems weird if grub is actually installed and you are able to boot with grub.
