The Linux Tutorial Network - not a big organization, it is simply a loosely knit group of people who work with their own or clients Linux servers on a daily basis.

You will first need to register your system with the Redhat Network. If not, STOP, google "rhn_register".

Type the below commands in your shell as root:

#up2date -i -f kernel (for single processor server)

or

#up2date -i -f kernel-smp (for dual processor server)

Check to see all files exits in the "/boot" directory that "/etc/lilo.conf" is pointing to... followed by:

#lilo -v -v

...to install the boot loader, the "-v" option increases verborsity.

Look carefully for any errors before rebooting.

#shutdown -r now

Above is a shortcut of the steps to do the update. If you need a more extensive howto, then visit the Forum.
