Centos 6 is not using the latest kernel installed.
I have a server that has the following kernels installed:
kernel-2.6.32-696.13.2.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-696.16.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-696.18.7.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-696.20.1.el6.x86_64
I’m using the DO GrubLoader 0.2 kernel in the control panel, but the server boots with:
2.6.32-696.18.7.el6.x86_64
I’ve changed /etc/grub.conf so it specifies the 20.1 kernel:
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.32-696.20.1.el6.x86_64)
root (hd0,0)

initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-696.20.1.el6.x86_64.img
What I am I missing? Why won’t it boot to 2.6.32-696.20.1 or 2.6.32-696.16.1?

We have the same problem.
rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x8664
kernel-2.6.32-696.20.1.el6.x8664
I am trying to boot from 2.6.32-696.20.1 but the droplet always boots from 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1. I have changed the kernel to DigitalOcean GrubLoader v0.2 and powered off the droplet but that did not help. I even added a new entry for the new kernel in /boot/grub/grub.conf but that did no help either.
I am following this howto:

Any ideas?
