I haven't run anything else as far as the RPM package manager (unless up2date ran it). rpm -q kernel gives: 2.4.22-1.2197.mptl (this is the same as the directory name under /lib/modules) From doing a Google on "reboot to new kernel", it would seem that I am going to have to recompile the kernel on my server. Does this sound correct? Is this okay to do without being physically there at the machine (in case something happens)? Also, I don't know if it matters any but I am using Ensim to manage my web server (different domains for the same company). Patrick
