Hello, First let's hope a happy news year to all. I got a x86 dedicated server on wich the hoster has installed FC2. Ok. The default kernel is a 2.6.6smp, and so on... I tried a 'yum update'. I updated the kernel too, to 2.6.9smp. Why not. The update logs in the std output, the terminal. I saw nothing wrong. It also updated the lilo.conf file, 'cause I found ther entries talking about the 2.6.9. Just because I'm paranoid, i ran 'lilo'. It was Ok. Then as everything seemed to be Ok, I decided to reboot (with the reboot command), to run the brand new kernel. Huh!! the server's off.
