Ok, it was grub, and this is what I have...... I see default=0 how should I
change that to one of the items below????

Thanks,


default=0

the top one is zero therefore if say you want to boot the third kernel
then change default to read default=2

Humm, ok but for some reason it does not start the top, or any one, it just
sits waiting for someone to manually hit enter on one of them.... Any
thoughts on that?>

Are you certain that this is the right grub.conf?

hiddenmenu should mean that you don't see the selections, unless
someone hits <ESC> key.

also you could try adding a fallback entry.

Hope this is helpful,

Another thing to consider is... if you always want to boot the smp
kernel, look into /etc/sysconfig/kernel and set up the default kernel
by:

DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-smp

and possibly remove the standard (non-smp) kernel from the system.
