While rpm -i will place the "new kernel" as the first stanza in grub.conf, it also shifts the default= line to continue to point to whichever kernel was being booted by default before. It is only through a post-installation function in yum or "perhaps no longer" in up2date that it will make the new kernel the default one. The problem in this thread is discussing the merits "or not" of this post-installation routine "automatically" pointing to the new kernel. It appears, at the moment, that kernel updates via up2date are now requiring us to manually edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf file and make the edit you are suggesting, but that needs to be done following each kernel update. Currently, yum is making the change automatically. --Rob
