Linux

Hi All
I recently upgraded my Mandrake 9.1 box to Mandrake 10.0 and the 2.6 kernel. However when I execute uname -a I still get a 2.4 kernel:

Linux hostname 2.4.21-0.13mdk #1 Fri Mar 14 15:08:06 EST 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

I assume this means I am still booting into a 2.4 kernel? In my /boot directory I have the following:

There appears to be a 2.6 kernel in this directory - so how do I tell Linux to boot from it, and is that a wise thing to do?

Do I change the symbolic link 'config' to point at the 2.6 config file?

Thanks for any help!

Assum you are using GRUB. Check your grub.conf file, you will see what's happening there.
