OK, what do you get from this:
dpkg -l |grep linux-image
Maybe you have the new kernel installed, but the boot loader isn't configured to use it.
Bingo! I am not sure why, but I'm definitely not getting the latest of the installed images as my default. It's a remote VM from ovh.ca, so I never see a GRUB screen.
The uptime is less than two days, because this issue happened after a reboot.
Interesting wrinkle, is that I don't seem to have grub or grub2 installed.
Hmm, I wonder which bootload it is using then. I think grub2 depends on grub-pc and grub-common. Could also use grub-efi, although I doubt that. Could always install grub2 and see what it does. What do you have in /boot? 'find /boot' should give a list that hopefully isn't too long. -- Len Sorensen
