change to SMP kernel

[neorder]

i changed CPU for one of my servers, the new CPU is a core 2 CPU, so i yum updated to a smp kernel by

yum install kernel-smp*

now i can see the boot configs in grub.conf are all updated to smp kernel

but the problem is after i did a reboot, the kernel was still the same

[root@da23 ~]# uname -r
2.6.9-55.EL

how to resolve this problem?

Set default=0 in /etc/grub.conf.

cool, you are really very familiar with the system files. kudos smtalk! it worked!

By default grub runs your old kernel, so you have an opportunity to test (important if it's a custom kernel) before you go live.
