fabian,

if you installed from rpm - you could do this

rpm -qa | grep kernel

then whatever it puts out remove the bad one with

yum remove whateverkernel

then reboot and yum update to that kernel again

if it is hand rolled and installed, i dont have the info for you and you
should know how to do that yourself

Dear All,


I have a Centos 5.2 server used as a squid proxy server for quite sometime
and was workin fine

after a power failure the system refused to boot

i jus see the grub boot load screen n then hangs

so using the space bar n with the arrow keys i selected my earlier kernel
and it booted fine

i think that the latest kernel file i have that
isvmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen is corrupted.

how could i restore it back

will yum upgrade solve the problem


appreciate ur help


regards

fabian

Not sure it will fix it but it will install the .22 kernel (newer) and unless 
that one has the same problem as your current you should be good.
