As far as I know, you will have to reboot and choose the new kernel during boot time (as, by default, yum and up2date don't replace the previous kernel).I feel stupid for asking this but I could not find anything that specifically said, one way or the other. After updating the kernel (with yum but that shouldn't matter) is it possible to begin using that kernel without rebooting the machine? Or is a reboot required for all new kernels?
