Kernal Update

[sloppyunderfoot]

I'm getting the following message. "Your system is currently running kernal-2.6.5-1.358, but the newst installed kernal is kernal-3.6.9-1.3_FC2. It is recommended that you reboot at the first opportunity to test this new kernal."

Rebooting doesn't do anything. Kernal is use remains the same. Is this Newbie missing something? Thanks.

Please verify the kernel version. I don't think it's correct.

No, its kernel 2.6.9-1.3_FC2. You have the first number wrong.

You may have downloaded the kernel update. Are you dual booting with Grub? If so, you can choose the old kernel or the new kernel. If you don't use Grub you will have to edit a startup file manually and I don't know how to do that.

check your installed kernels by:

rpm -qa | grep kernel

It will list the installed kernels.
