When up2date completed, I noticed that both the old and new kernels were still
installed (good) and that the new kernel was now the default (surprised by
this but I believe it is the correct thing to do).
However, when I went through the up2date panels, there was no message of
anything warning/telling me that I will need to reboot to actually have the
new kernel take effect. While there may be other installed packages which
will not really take effect without a reboot, the kernel is the most obvious
and glaring. I really thing some "reminder" would be useful about the reboot
being needed. I will put this bugzilla if you desire.
I updated the kernel and then ran up2date again. It gave me a message
Your system is currently running kernel-2.4.22-1.2061.nptl, but the
newest installed kernel is kernel-2.4.22-1.2082.nptl. It is recommended
that you reboot at the first opportunity to test this new kernel.
