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!
