initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-696.10.2.el6.centos.plus.x86_64.img
it simply ignores it and loads 2
.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 -- it was likley to have been badly handled at some point and now i'm living with this stupid anomaly.
shall i just start yum removing old kernels ? that's a last resort because i want to figure this one out. thanks for helping.
uname -a:
Linux my-website-org 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 13 13:06:13 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
the uname -a response is also messed up too - all those x86_64's (?)
this is what happens when i try to remove that kernel:
Code: Select all
[root@forum ~]# yum remove kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64

Do not remove the kernel the system is currently running !!, they tell me.
is
package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2 an option ?
