You will need to add lines to your grub.conf files for any additional kernels, since evidently your .conf file was put in the wrong place. Just copy line for line, the title, kernel, and initrd lines, replacing the version-release numbers from the kernel files. On the other hand, if you also do not have the kernel that you just installed in your /boot drawer, you will need to do the following as root: rpm -qa | grep kernel #find all kernels installed on system rpm -e kernel-version-release # version-release of the missing kernel the reason is that your kernel was incompletely installed. If you don't fully understand this or worry that you'll mess up your system, sen the output of ll /boot and cat /boot/grub/grub.conf and rpm -qa |grep kernel HTH Scott -- If in doubt, VOTE 'EM OUT!
