I'm having all sorts of problems with this server.
[root_at_svr9 root]# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.17ctx-8 (root_at_svr9)
[root_at_svr9 boot]# ls -l

vmlinuz-2.4.18ctx-10
According to grub I've only got one available kernel to boot from.
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-18-ctx10)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda2
I've almost given up trying to get it upgraded now to ctx-10. locate and
grep find no files called or containging ctx-8 but everytime the server
boots it's back to ctx-8. Only thing that I can think of is that it is the
ctx-10 kernel but it's being misreported but I don't know how that could
happen. :-(
