Hi.. Some days ago when doing "yum update" i noticed there was a new kernel ready to be installed. I didn't complete the update.
Today when I planned to update the kernel, running "yum update" didn't want to update my kernel anymore.
Did you pull the new kernel out of the tree Scott?

I'll bet if you check you'll see its already installed. CentOS4 runs a nightly update through cron.

Nope, sorry, its not installed.
I've disabled the nightly update.. can't risk yum updating mysql or anything important without me keeping an eye on it, at least in my experience.

Never mind this.. I compiled myself a 2.6.16 kernel and got rid of the iowait/load -problems with the stock CentOS kernel.
