Just tried to update the kernel. This is the first time I have tried
doing this with yum. Here is the output:
--------------------------------------------------
I will do the following:
[install: kernel 2.6.6-1.427.i686]
[update: cvs 1.11.17-2.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: y

--------------------------------------------------------------

And the new kernel is not offered as an option on the Grub bootup page.

So, what went wrong and what should I do now?
