Hello everyone,
I upgraded my fc4 to fc5 using the folllowing commands.
# yum upgrade 2>&1 | tee /tmp/yum_upgrade
# yum -y upgrade
#reboot
It said process is complete ( It took 4 to 5 hrs). Now after rebbot ,
i get 4 choices namely
1 FC4 2.11.6... smp
2 FC4 2.11.6...
3 FC4....
4 FC4 up...
Which one shall i choose to boot?
( by default it chose the first option)
3 and 4 were present before. 1 and 2 have appeared newly.
Please let me know the significance of these options.
Is there any way to change boot options so that only required
things appear.
----
none of that sounds right at all...

First of all, fedora-release should say you have Fedora Core release 5;
since you have FC5 kernels, it appears the upgrade to FC5 did work to an
extent, so run the following:
rpm -Uvh
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm
(one line)
This should update fedora-release to say the right version. Assuming
you're using i386; substitute appropriate arch if otherwise.
As for the boot entries:
The first two are the new 2.6.16 kernel installed for FC5. If those
work, you should use them. The first one is SMP (symmetric
multi-processor), the second is UP (uni-processor); if you have a dual
core or Pentium with hyper-threading, that's why it installed SMP, and
using that kernel will take the most advantage of the dual-processing
ability. UP should work fine as well.
You can uninstall kernels you don't wish to use with yum; however, if
you don't have a space issue, it is best to keep several versions in
case an update goes bad. If you don't want them to show up in the
bootloader, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf with your favorite text editor,
and put a # at the beginning of each group of lines, such as:
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.img
#title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
# root (hd0,1)
# kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet
# initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.img
(don't change anything other than adding # for commenting, this is just
an example from my grub.conf, with two entries, the first one will show
up and the second won't)
