Hello everyone,
YUM successfully updated all my RPMs ...but...
I received the following "critical information" from up2date...
Your systems is current running "Old Kernel." It is recommended that you reboot at your first opportunity to test the "New Kernel."
I don't, however, use GRUB or LILO (I boot from a CD). Is there any other way to complete the recognition process of the updated kernel.
TIA
Dave White
Read mkbootdisk information or man pages. It should explain how to create an ISO image for a bootable CD. I made one as a test and it worked fine. (Latest kernel).
June 20th of lat month is more details. Basically create an image in the tmp directory or wherever you choose to save the iso image to be created by using:
mkbootdisk 2.6.whatever --iso --device /tmp/kernel-image.iso
After creating the image. Use whatever CD burning program you choose to burn the ISO to CD. Then repeat process for each time you need a newer kernel on CD.
Personally, I open nautilus, navigate to the directory where the iso is located. Insert a blank CD. Close down the burn:/// window. Highlight the iso image file created. Right click on the file. Choose "Write To CD" and wait until the image is created. You could then reboot your computer to see if the newly created Boot CD w/ kernel is good.
